Normal Fault Structures and Others

AAPG Bulletin, 1946
ABSTRACT This paper emphasizes the importance of shearing as a kind of deformation which is often confused with folding. It presents a type of normal faulting as a mountain-making effect due to uplift against gravity. The structure of the Colorado plateaus is taken as the type. Basin-range faulting is regarded as closely similar.

flexural rotation of normal faults

Tectonics, 1988
A conceptual model is proposed for the generation of low‐angle normal faults in Metamorphic Core Complexes. The model is based on three assumptions: (1) the isostatic response to normal fault motion is of regional extent; (2) when a fault segment is significantly rotated from the optimum angle of slip, relative to the crustal stress field, it is ...

Fluid involvement in normal faulting

Journal of Geodynamics, 2000
Evidence of fluid interaction with normal faults comes from their varied role as flow barriers or conduits in hydrocarbon basins and as hosting structures for hydrothermal mineralisation, and from fault-rock assemblages in exhumed footwalls of steep active normal faults and metamorphic core complexes.

Permeability Anisotropy in Sandstone Hosted Normal Faults

Proceedings, 2012
Measurements of permeability (k) from over ninety oriented core plugs sampled around two extensional faults set in aeolian and fluvial sandstone formations show anisotropy in three orientations independent of the original sedimentary fabric permeability.
