Subduction only occurs when oceanic rocks are forced beneath a continent.
False. Subduction produces mountains because subduction zones are the upwelling zones of mantle convection, which lifts the earth's surface to form mountains. cooler temperatures.

Reverse faults are dip-slip faults in which the hanging wall block moves up relative to the footwall block. Thrust faults are a type of reverse faults having dips less than 45 degrees. Both reverse and thrust faults result from compressional stresses that produce horizontal shortening of the crust.
