distributive fault/step fault Explanation: Mi sembra si possa trattare di questo. FAGLIE A GRADINATA o VICARIANTI Due tipi di faglie a gradinata http://freedom.dicea.unifi.it/massimo.rinaldi/Geoapp CIV 060... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&cp=40&gs_id=0&xhr=t&q=DIS... se guardi il disegno al primo link e poi cerchi "step fault" o "distributive fault" in Google image (vedi prima immagine del ssecondo link), vedrai le immagini sembrerebbero corrispondere. HTH Ciao STEP FAULTS : faglie a gradinate, faglie in scalinata STEP FAULTS HADING AGAINST THE DIP : faglie a gradinate controdirezionali (ad inclinazione contraria a quella degli strati) STEP FAULTS HADING WITH THE DIP : faglie a gradinate direzionali (ad inclinazione analoga a quella degli strati) STEP FAULTS WITH THROW ADJUSTMENT : faglie a gradinate con gradini compensanti (inclinati avanti e indietro in modo che le diverse inclinazioni si compensino a vicenda) http://www.itrigotti.it/humanae-litterae/6-humanae-litterae/... 4) Classification of faults on the basis of fault pattern On the basis of pattern faults are classified into the following types 1.Parallel faults 2.Step faults 3.Grabe or rift fault 4.Horst 5.Radial fault 6.Peripheral faults 7.Enechelon faults http://www.aboutcivil.com/faults-geological-faults-in-earth.... http://frasassi.com/imageRubriche/allegato41.pdf distributive fault Translation distributive fault noun : one of two or more closely associated parallel geologic faults — called also step fault * * * distributive fault, Geology. a fault in which the displacement is distributed among several parallel planes at short distances from one another instead of being confined to a single plane. http://useful_english.enacademic.com/197792/distributive_fau... a. One of a set of parallel, closely spaced faults over which the total displacement is distributed. CF: fault zone distributive fault. AGI b. One of a series of low-angle thrust faults in which the fault planes step both down and laterally in the stratigraphic section to lower glide planes. Step faulting is due to variation in the competence of the beds in the stratigraphic section. AGI c. A series of parallel faults that, all inclined in the same direction, gives rise to a gigantic staircase; hence these are called step faults. Each step is a fault block and its top may be horizontal or tilted. AGI http://www.webref.org/geology/s/step_fault.htm http://www.sapere.it/enciclopedia/fàglia (geologia).html |

recurrent fault movement Explanation: **recurrent fault movement** just my alternative option which may fit the whole context http://ugspub.nr.utah.gov/publications/special_studies/SS-75... zone in north-central Utah as a possible indicator of recurrent fault movement ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 ore (2012-06-20 09:42:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sistemi dipendenti: faglie incidenti e **vicarianti** : Zone di disturbo molto distanziate, non segnate sulla carta geologica, anomalie forti nel campo naturale del terreno, stress da scarico di tensione tellurica. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 ore (2012-06-20 10:32:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- a clear explanation (1st one) links: http://eqseis.geosc.psu.edu/~cammon/HTML/Classes/IntroQuakes... Slip Dip and strike describe the orientation of the fault, we also have to describe the direction of motion across the fault. That is, which way did one side of the fault move with respect to the other. The parameter that describes this motion is called the slip. The slip has two components, a "magnitude" which tells us how far the rocks moved, and a direction (it's a vector). We usually specify the magnitude and direction separately I may suggest that the following rendering: slip (vector) of recurrent fault or something along this line can fit your context.
