The answer is by convergent plate motion.
Yes, for example the San Andreas Fault is a plate boundary.

The interaction areas between tectonic plates are called boundaries. There are three types of boundaries:Transform--where plates essentially grind past each other with no subduction.Convergent--where plates collide. Oceanic plate to oceanic plate convergence will result in the more dense plate subducting under the less dense plate.Divergent--where plates move apart. The major diverging plates are located at the mid-ocean ridge system where melting material from the asthenosphere fills in the separating plate zone, creating new crust.
The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate are involved in the San Andreas fault. The Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest grinding pass the North American Plate.
Japan is located near a triple fault line between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate (the Japan Trench) and the Philippine plate (the Nankai Trough).
A reverse fault is usually associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two plates are colliding and one is forced upward over the other. It is less common along divergent boundaries, where plates are moving away from each other.
A reverse fault is typically associated with a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced up over the other, leading to compression and the formation of a reverse fault.
A fault caused by compression forces is a reverse fault, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. This type of fault is commonly found in areas where tectonic plates are colliding, such as in mountain ranges. Reverse faults are associated with convergent plate boundaries.
A reverse fault is typically formed at a convergent plate boundary where two tectonic plates are colliding. The movement along the fault results in one block of rock moving up and over the other block.
A reverse fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line. This type of fault is associated with compressional stress where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are common in regions undergoing compression, such as convergent plate boundaries.
A reverse fault occurs when compression forces push one side of the fault upward and the other side downward. This motion creates a steep incline in the fault plane, with the hanging wall moving up and the footwall moving down. Reverse faults are typically associated with convergent plate boundaries where compression forces are high.
A reverse fault is under compression. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces in the Earth's crust. This type of fault is common in areas with convergent tectonic plate boundaries.
Along a convergent plate boundary, you typically find a reverse fault or thrust fault. This type of fault occurs when the two tectonic plates are pushing against each other, causing one plate to be forced up and over the other plate. This movement can lead to earthquakes and mountain building.
You would find a combination of strike-slip and thrust faults. This is what gives the mountain range the jagged look.
The Himalayan mountains were formed by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate pushing into the Eurasian plate. This collision caused the Indian plate to be forced under the Eurasian plate, resulting in reverse faulting and the uplift of the Himalayas.
A thrust fault results when one plate is compressed up onto another plate during an earthquake. This type of fault occurs in convergent boundary settings where the two plates are moving towards each other.
The 1964 earthquake in Alaska was caused by a megathrust fault associated with the subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being pushed beneath the North American Plate. This type of fault is known as a megathrust or subduction zone fault.
