The 21 pages that link to Fault (geology), each with the reason it gives.

• SeismologyRelated: Nearly all damaging earthquakes are slip on a fault.

• EarthquakeBroader topic: Earthquakes commonly begin when accumulated stress drives sudden slip along a fault.

• Joint (geology)Compared with: The defining distinction is that faults accommodate displacement, unlike joints.

• Normal faultNarrower topic: A normal fault is a specific fault type, distinguished by its displacement.

• Induced seismicityNarrower topic: Induced earthquakes occur when human-caused stress changes prompt slip on pre-existing faults.

• Elastic-rebound theoryBroader topic: The theory locates earthquake slip on faults, where accumulated strain is abruptly released.

• Structural geologyBroader topic: Faults record brittle deformation and displacement within the crust.

• Atlas MountainsRelated: Faulting accommodates compression and uplift in parts of the Atlas.

• Earthquake predictionRelated: Earthquakes commonly occur when stress overcomes friction along a fault.

• Hydrothermal mineral depositRelated: Faults can channel fluids upward and focus mineral deposition.

• Strike-slip faultNarrower topic: Strike-slip faults are one kinematic class within the broader family of geological faults.

• Hot springRelated: Faults can provide pathways for groundwater to descend and heated water to rise.

• EscarpmentNarrower topic: Movement along a fault can displace terrain and create a fault escarpment.

• Slow slip eventNarrower topic: Slow slip is displacement along a fault rather than a separate kind of geological structure.

• Strike and dipBroader topic: Fault-plane orientation is described by its strike and dip.

• AftershockNarrower topic: Aftershocks occur as faults and surrounding crust respond to the main rupture.

• Earthquake nucleationNarrower topic: Nucleation takes place on a fault surface or within its slipping zone.

• Focal mechanismNarrower topic: The mechanism depicts the orientation and motion of a fault during rupture.

• Fossa MagnaRelated: Faults bound and deform parts of the Fossa Magna.

• Structural basinRelated: Fault movement can lower a broad block and help create a basin.

• Fault blockNarrower topic: Faults bound blocks and record the movement that separates them.
