The relationship between displacement and length of faults: a review

YS Kim, DJ Sanderson - Earth-Science Reviews, 2005 - Elsevier
The relationship between maximum displacement (dmax) and fault length (L) has been
studied extensively, mainly in attempts to understand how fault geometry varies over …

Displacements, segment linkage and relay ramps in normal fault zones

DCP Peacock, DJ Sanderson - Journal of Structural Geology, 1991 - Elsevier
A fault zone is produced by the displacement and linkage of component segments, and
hence these are important to the understanding of fault zone-development. A small well …

Geometry and development of relay ramps in normal fault systems

DCP Peacock, DJ Sanderson - AAPG bulletin, 1994 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Relay ramps occur between normal fault segments that overstep in map view. The geometry
and evolution of exposure-scale relay ramps are described from the Somerset coast …

Displacement-length scaling and fault linkage

NH Dawers, MH Anders - Journal of Structural Geology, 1995 - Elsevier
Large fault systems often result from the linkage of smaller faults. This produces an increase
in fault length, but a deviation from the simple displacement pattern observed for individual …

Damage zone geometry around fault tips

AG McGrath, I Davison - Journal of Structural Geology, 1995 - Elsevier
Damage zones are described around small scale normal, strike-slip, and reverse faults
cutting horizontally-bedded carbonates, shales and siltstones in the Bristol Channel basin …

Propagation, interaction and linkage in normal fault systems

DCP Peacock - Earth-Science Reviews, 2002 - Elsevier
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 …

Frontally confined versus frontally emergent submarine landslides: A 3D seismic characterisation

J Frey-Martínez, J Cartwright, D James - Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2006 - Elsevier
Three-dimensional (3D) seismic data from the continental margin offshore Israel (Eastern
Mediterranean) have been used to analyse the compressional structures within the toe …

Effect of faulting on fluid flow in porous sandstones: geometry and spatial distribution

M Antonellini, A Aydin - AAPG bulletin, 1995 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
We present a methodology to describe fault geometry at different scales and to characterize
the distribution of these scales on the flanks of a salt intrusion in the Colorado Plateau …

Slip accumulation and lateral propagation of active normal faults in Afar

I Manighetti, GCP King, Y Gaudemer… - Journal of …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate fault growth in Afar, where normal fault systems are known to be currently
growing fast and most are propagating to the northwest. Using digital elevation models, we …
