1. A normal fault may therefore become a reverse fault and vice versa. 2. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep, greater than 45? 3. Multiple strike-slip and reverse faults were generated throughout the zone as a result. 4. The Alaska Earthquake was a Aleutian Megathrust, a reverse fault caused by a compressional force. 5. Reverse faults , particularly those along transforms, can produce major earthquakes up to about magnitude 8.6. Reverse faults indicate compressive shortening of the crust.7. The "'2006 Kamchatka earthquakes "'began on with the occurrence of a very large reverse fault event. 8. The earthquakes of 2005 and 2008 may have ruptured adjacent segments of the same southeast-dipping reverse fault . 9. The morphology and structural relations of the scarps suggest that most result from thrust or reverse faults . 10. Cerro Redondo's breccia is flanked by normal faults and one reverse fault is located within the complex.
