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.
1 The rock on one side of the fault is pushed up relative to rock on the other side. 2  In a reverse fault the exposed area of the fault is often an overhang. 3  Thus you could not walk on it. 4  Thrust faults are a special type of reverse fault. 5  They happen when the fault angle is very low.
