reverse fault--->逆断层(断层面倾角大于45度)
A type of fault formed when the hanging wall fault block moves up along a fault surface relative to the footwall. Such movement can occur in areas where the Earth's crust is compressed. A thrust fault, sometimes called an overthrust if the displacement is particularly great, is a reverse fault in which the fault plane has a shallow dip, typically much less than 45

thrust fault--->逆冲断层(断层面倾角小于45度)
A type of reverse fault in which the fault plane has a very shallow dip, typically much less than 45
o. The hanging wall fault block moves up the fault surface relative to the footwall. In cases of considerable lateral movement, the fault is described as an
overthrust fault(逆掩断层)(即推覆构造). Thrust faults can occur in areas of compression of the Earth's crust.
