Definitions:

Reverse Fault

A type of fault where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall, often created by compressive forces.

Normal Fault

A type of fault where the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall, typically associated with extensional tectonics.

Horizontal Compression

A stress regime where forces push inwards from opposite sides, often leading to folding, faulting, or shortening of the Earth's crust.

Horizontal Tension

The stress exerted in a horizontal direction, often leading to stretching and thinning of the crust.
