Variation in fault-slip directions along active and segmentednormalfaultsystems.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At shallow crustal levels, extension can be taken up by tension fractures that sole out onto anormalfault-plane at depth.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Althoughnormalfaultzones typically extend in excess of 100 km, they commonly comprise an array of overstepping and linked fault segments.

Slip on thisnormalfaultoccurs within the overturned limb of an overturned anticline.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The low-anglenormalfaultis illustrated as an area representing the exposed slickensided surface of the fault (lines are parallel to slickenlines).
From theCambridge English Corpus
The exposure is divided by anormalfaultinto two lithologically distinct sedimentary units.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This fault is anormalfaulthaving more than 100 m dip-slip displacement.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Displacement geometry in the volume containing a singlenormalfault.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is cut and displaced along a synthetic grain-scalenormalfault.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We think that this syncline is either: (i) a typical normal drag accommodating the slip in the hanging-wall of the bounding high-anglenormalfaultor (ii) a syn-depositional compaction structure.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is a genuine divide, and it is an irritating divide, because it does not follow thenormalfaultlines of party politics.
