fault plane

The fault plane is usually vertical and can be horizontal.

That left the last two rooms, which straddled the fault plane.

The underground surface along which the rock breaks and moves is called a fault plane.

The issue is the need to support scientific research; for example, investigations into the locations and activity of fault planes.

The fracture itself is called a fault plane.

The fault plane was 90 km long and 45 km wide.

The layering is disrupted by small scale displacement along fault planes.

Gimme enough to plot the fault plane at least!

The fault plane was estimated to be dipping at 65 NW.

They soon came to the end of the vertical fault plane and began the long, slow, arduous climb up the slope.

In a normal fault (see animation below), the fault plane is nearly vertical.

Inputs are the orientation and slip direction of a set of fault planes.

The focal depth was about 27 km and the fault plane dipped at 12 .

Typically, aftershocks are found up to a distance equal to the rupture length away from the fault plane.

The strike of the fault plane is approximately NE.

Basins formed through strike-slip action occur where a vertical fault plane curves.

This allows for the motion along the fault plane to be estimated and its location in the earth's subsurface mapped.

The resulting structure may include large-scale recumbent folds with shearing along the fault plane.

As focal mechanisms give two potential active fault plane orientations, other evidence is required to interpret the origin of an individual event.

Aftershocks are formed as the crust around the displaced fault plane adjusts to the effects of the main shock.

The sluggish movements deep in the Earth eventually cause the rigid crust to fracture along great fault planes of weakness.

The fault plane is the plane that represents the fracture surface of a fault.

Typically this is a type of fault but it may be difficult to place a distinct fault plane into the shear zone.

Fault zone - zone where exist different discrete fault planes.

Using a geological technique called fault plane solution, he soon inferred the configuration of not one but two "new" thrust faults.
