    Dear Rohinee,

     

    Reversal of dip basically seen by the open outcrops near the faulted region.

    Main dipping sequence of folded beds are dips opposite due to fault.

    Reversal of dip may be seen clearly in active tectonic areas standing far from outcrop , you can best identify the reversal of dip.
