Abstract:In geology, a fault is a rock fracture with perceptible relative displacement of the opposite sides of the fracture. Quantitatively obtaining the activity history of faults depends mainly on the estimation of fault slip and the study of markers, which can be used to understand and analyze the tectonic evolution of the faulted regions. Fault slip is calculated by restoring points that were originally adjacent before the deformation, those points are named piercing points. In this paper, we review some published… Show more
