"faults associated with zones of subduction are reverse or thrust faults depending on the angle of the dip."
A region of the Earth's crust where two tectonic plates meets, that region is a zone of subduction. Faults are associated with subduction zone, thrust faults typically dip at low angles and reverse faults dip at high angles.
