7 What are the 3 fault types. Exercise 122 Types of Faults. Orogeny Is The Process In Which A Section Of Earth S Crust Is Folded Deformed By Lateral Compression To Form A Mountain Range Geology Earth Science Geophysics Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries. . Normal Reverse and Strike-Slip. A dip-slip fault in which the upper block above the fault plane moves up and over the lower block. Tension leads to normal faults. Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate. The two main types of faults are dip-slip the fault plane is inclined to. This fault motion is caused by compressional forces and results in shortening. In a reverse fault the block above the fault moves up relative to the block below the fault. Occurs where the hanging wall moves up or is thrust over the foot wall. 8 What is compression in geography. Reverse faults occur in areas under...
