Present nomenclature of faults and flanking structures is ambiguous. This paper presents a system for description of flanking structures, based on geometric parameters and independent of kinematic frame. The description can be made using two levels of accuracy. A qualitative method is described using four geometric features: tilt, slip, lift and roll. This method is suggested for practical use in the field, since it does not involve measurements or complicated procedures.

This paper presents a system for description of flanking structures, based on geometric parameters and independent of kinematic frame. The description can be made using two levels of accuracy. A qualitative method is described using four geometric features: tilt, slip, lift and roll. This method is suggested for practical use in the field, since it does not involve measurements or complicated procedures. In parallel, a quantitative approach is also presented, based on analytical modelling of Bézier curves. This method requires measurement of geometric features and involves mathematical treatment, but allows comparison between different flanking structures.» weiterlesen» einklappen
