Fault zones can often display a complex internal structure associated with antithetic faults,
branch and tip points, bed rotations, bed-parallel slip surfaces, and subordinate synthetic …

Individual normal faults are rarely single planar surfaces and often comprise arrays of fault
segments arising from the earliest stages of fault propagation. Current models for the …

Abstract Models of volcanic collapses proposed in the literature rely on combining field
examples with analogue and numerical modelling to connect superficial observables to sub …

Normal faults are the dominant structures found in extensional sedimentary basins
developed in continental rifts and passive margins. The geometry and growth of faults are …

Contractional relay zones between pairs of normal faults are sometimes associated with
multiple antithetic faults in a geometry similar to that found in Riedel shear zones. Detailed …

Extensive opencast lignite mining in the Ptolemais Basin, NW Greece has exposed a
plethora of outcrops within a normal fault system offsetting a sequence of interbedded …

Mechanical heterogeneity of a sedimentary sequence exerts a primary control on the
geometry of fault zones and the proportion of offset accommodated by folding. The …

The boundaries between pairs of adjacent fault segments within normal fault arrays define a
spectrum of structures, from relay ramps where the length of overlap between the fault …

Well-exposed normal fault networks in the Plio-Quaternary sedimentary series of the Zanjan
Depression, Iran, were studied in order to analyse the spatial relationships and evolution of …

During dyke intrusion, tensile stresses concentrated within the overlying rock may lead to the
formation of normal faults. These faults typically form graben-bounding pairs that are sub …
