Although the widths of fault damage zones commonly show a positive correlation with
displacements, these relationships also show a somewhat scattered distribution. We believe …

The present paper reviews our current understanding of fault dimensions and their scaling
laws, with special focus on faults in siliciclastic rocks. The aim is to provide a comprehensive …

Increased interest in the two-and three-dimensional geometries and development of faults
and other types of fractures in rock has led to an increasingly bewildering terminology. Here …

2.4 Thickness from indirect measurements 32 2.5 Apparent thickness 36 2.6 Thickness …

The thicknesses of fault rock and fault zones and the fault normal separations for breached
and intact relay zones each show a positive correlation with fault displacement. The …

Western Turkey is one of the most spectacular regions of widespread active continental
extension in the world. The most prominent structures of this region are E–W-trending …

Recent advances are reviewed in the understanding of the geometry and development of
steep, planar normal faults with up to hundreds of meters throw in multilayered sedimentary …

Outcrop data has been used to examine the spatial arrangement of fractures in the damage
zones of a segment of the large-scale Moab Fault (45km in length), SE Utah. The …

Folding that is directly related to fault activity is an important deformation feature that occurs
all over the world in mountain belts, accretionary wedges, fold-and-thrust belts, and intra …

Deformation bands represent a common type of strain localization in deformed porous
sandstones and occur as single structures, as clusters, and in fault damage zones. They …
