What is Reverse Movement?
Diagram from Oracle Education Foundation, ThinkQuest, World Winds.
Reverse movement is the opposite movement of normal movement. As shown in the diagram, the movement or sheer of the earth is upward along the fault line that separates the two tectonic plate boundaries. While this type of movement is more rare than the 'normal movement' in an earthquake, the type of tectonic boundary will determine if this type of movement will occur.
