Reverse Fault Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4410
The Reverse Fault Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4410) is a structural geology model of a reverse fault, in which the hanging wall block moves up relative to the footwall block. Reverse faults are associated with crustal compression, where the crust is being squeezed and shortened, and they are common in zones of mountain building. JaincoLab makes this fault model for school geography and college geology teaching, together with its normal fault and horst and graben models.

Applications of the reverse fault model
The model is used to teach how compression pushes the hanging wall up over the footwall, and to contrast reverse faults with normal faults formed under tension.
- Faulting lessons in school geography
- Structural geology practicals in B.Sc geology
- Mountain building and compression topics
- Comparing normal and reverse faults
