1. Faults - normal faults
- earth.leeds.ac.uk
- Normal faults generally occur in places where the lithosphere is being stretched. ... Normal faults can show diffeent geometries - and a few are shown here. In some situations the faults can become gently dipping at depth so that they have a spoon (or listric) shape. Other normal faults are found in batches, dipping in the same direction, with rotated fault blocks between. These are termed domino faults. Although most active normal faults can be shown to dip at angles steeper than 50 degrees, there are examples of very low-angle normal faults. ...

2. Major Faults of the Puget Sound Region of Washington
- www.pnsn.org
- Major Faults in the Puget Sound.
- An accompanying Fault Map of the Puget Sound shows the approximate locations of major faults in the Puget Sound of Western Washington (Gower and others, 1985, "Seismotectonic Map of the Puget Sound Region, Washington", USGS Map I-1613). Many of these faults are inferred indirectly from gravity and magnetic surveys. There is evidence of recent movement on some of these faults. ...
- The motion on many of these faults is vertical. For example, vertical motion on the Seattle Fault and faults just to the north have caused the block of earth between faults H and I on the map to drop a total of more than 12,000 feet in the last 40 million years. ...
- Large earthquakes could occur on any of these faults. However, the average time between large earthquakes on any of these faults may be hundreds or even thousands of years. A comparison of the fault map with locations of earthquakes that have occurred in the last few decades indicates that many recent earthquakes are occurring on faults other than the ones shown on the map. Thus, there are probably many other active faults besides the ones shown on the map. ...
- The faults labeled "Seattle Fault" and fault "I" on the map may be the same fault. ...

- Normal faults .
- Reverse faults .
- Faults and earthquakes.
- We classify faults by how the two rocky blocks on either side of a fault move relative to each other. ...
- Now, consider this: if we hold the foot wall stationary, gravity will normally want to pull the hanging wall down, right? Faults that move the way you would expect gravity to move them normally are called normal faults! Not so hard, is it? .
- Can you see the foot-shaped foot wall and the hanging wall resting or hanging above it? Think about this: if we hold the foot wall stationary, where would the hanging wall go if we reversed gravity? The hanging wall will slide upwards, right? When movement along a fault is the reverse of what you would expect with normal gravity we call them reverse faults!.
- Strike-slip faults have a different type of movement than normal and reverse faults. ...
- The rocky blocks on either side of strike-slip faults, on the other hand, scrape along side-by-side. ...
- Notice that pure strike-slip faults do not produce fault scarps. ... Streams flowing across strike-slip faults are often diverted to flow along this weakened zone. ...
- In real-life faulting is not such a simple picture! Usually faults do not have purely up-and-down or side-by-side movement as we described above. ...
5. Earthquakes and faults - Putting Down Roots in Earthquake Country
- www.earthquakecountry.info
- Sometimes the change in stress is great enough to trigger aftershocks on nearby faults as well. ...
- Earthquakes occur on faults. ... When an earthquake occurs on one of these faults, the rock on one side of the fault slips with respect to the other. Faults can be centimeters to thousands of kilometers (fractions of an inch to thousands of miles) long. ... Faults can extend deep into the earth and may or may not extend up to the earth's surface.
- Some faults have not shown these signs and we will not know they are there until they produce a large earthquake. Several damaging earthquakes in California have occurred on faults that were previously unknown.
- How do we study faults?.
- Surface features that have been broken and offset by the movement of faults are used to determine how fast the faults move and thus how often earthquakes are likely to occur. ...

9. Photoglossary - Faults - Io: Jupiter's Volcanic Moon
- www.planetaryexploration.net
- Faults.
- Faults are fractures in the crust of a planetary body along which some movement has occurred. ...
- Faults are classified by the way in which the rocks on either side of the fault move in relation to one another. ... ) These faults are called "normal" faults because downward motion is the normal response to gravity.
- Reverse faults occur where opposing horizontal forces compress the crust enough to cause it to fracture, and force one crustal block to rise over the other. ...
10. SDNHM: Faults and Earthquakes in San Diego County
- www.sdnhm.org
- Faults and Earthquakes in San Diego County.
- Like the rest of southern California, San Diego County has a number of active earthquake faults. These faults generally run in a northwest-southeast direction and are the product of crustal stresses associated with movement of the Pacific and North American lithospheric plates. ...
- From east to west the major active faults consist of the San Jacinto, Elsinore, La Nacion, and Rose Canyon faults onshore and the Coronado Bank, San Diego Trough, and San Clemente faults offshore. Often the traces of these faults are marked by river valleys and canyons such as in the Lake Henshaw area where the Elsinore Fault passes along the northeast shore of the lake, or in Balboa Park where the small Florida Canyon Fault passes along the western slope of the canyon and beneath the parking lot of the Naval Hospital. ...
- This destructive temblor was centered on either the Rose Canyon or Coronado Bank faults and descriptions of damage suggest that it had a magnitude of about 6. ...
- Ongoing field and laboratory studies suggest the following maximum likely magnitudes for local faults: San Jacinto (M6. ...
- Slippage Along Faults.
- Large or small, most earthquakes are caused by the slippage of masses of crustal rock along earth fractures called faults. Faults that have horizontal movement are called Strike-slip faults. Faults that primarily have vertical movement are called Dip-slip faults and come in two primary types. ...
- Strike-slip faults are caused by horizontal shearing tectonic forces and result in the rocks on either side of the fault moving in opposite directions. ...
- Most north-south faults in southern California are of this type, including the most active faults in San Diego County -- the San Jacinto, Elsinore, Rose Canyon, and Coronado Banks faults. ...

12. Flaws and Faults in Wine
- www.bcawa.ca
- When you comment on flaws or faults, be as specific and precise as you can. ...
- First we have to establish what we mean by flaws and what we mean by faults in wine. Many wine judges use these terms interchangeably but this practice is confusing and we need to apply the terms "flaws and faults" consistently to describe the intensity and impact of problem characters as outlined below.
- Flaws and faults fall roughly into two groups, those attributable to errors in winemaking technique or cellar management and those attributable to other factors. ...
- If there is little or no improvement consider other faults, particularly disulphides. ...
- Table of Flaws and Faults.
- Common flaws or faults are listed by approximate frequency of their occurrence in flights of BCAWA wines. ... ) Percentages indicate relative frequency of flaws and faults and how much is attributable to poor winemaking practices (PW). ...
- Description, Cause, Prevention, Treatment, and Judging of Flaws and Faults.
- Depending on intensity such characters are flaws or faults and you should score the wine accordingly. ...
- Such characters are usually considered flaws rather than faults and the wine is scored accordingly - usually not above 12 points. ...
- Usually faults - acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, TCA, geranium, organoleptically obvious levels of reduced sulphur compounds.
