Positioners used in wound care are devices that elevate, transfer, place, support, or help change the position of an entire body or individual parts. They utilize air, air-permeable fabrics, fiber fill, foam, gel, or a combination of these components.
What is the definition of reverse fault? A fault along the Earth's crust is identified by the corresponding type of stress that caused its formation. In geology, a stress is defined as the amount of force exerted on a unit of surface area. Generally, shear stress forms transform faults, compressive stress creates reverse faults and tensional stress produces normal faults.
In this case, the rocks above the fault plane are moving down relative to the rocks below it. When rocks are pushed together, the opposite happensâthe rocks above the plane move upward relative to the rocks below the plane; these types of faults are called reverse faults.
