	San Andreas Fault Map - Zoom In on the Fault! - GEOLOGY.COM
		A fault trace is a line on a map where the fault is believed to intersect Earth's surface.
		The San Andreas Fault trace shown on this map is approximate.
		We have chosen to represent the fault as a thin line, not because the location is known that precisely, but because we do not want to obscure ground features and evidence of the fault's location that can be seen in the satellite images.

	AllRefer.com - fault (Geology And Oceanography) - Encyclopedia
		fault, in geology, fracture in the earth's crust in which the rock on one side of the fracture has measurable movement in relation to the rock on the other side.
		Movement along a fault plane may be vertical, horizontal, or oblique in direction, or it may consist in the rotation of one or both of the fault blocks, with most movements associated with mountain building and plate tectonics.
		All types of faults have been recognized on the ocean floor: normal faults occur in the rift valleys associated with mid ocean ridges spreading at slow rates; strike-slip faults appear between the offset portions of mid-ocean ridges; and thrust faults occur at subducting plate boundaries.

	Geology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-, "the earth") and λογος (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the Earth, its composition, structure, physical properties, history, and the processes that shape it.
		The word "geology" was first used by Jean-André Deluc in the year 1778 and introduced as a fixed term by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the year 1779.
		Faults are younger than the rocks they cut; accordingly, if a fault is found that penetrates some formations but not those on top of it, then the formations that were cut are older than the fault, and the ones that are not cut must be younger than the fault.

	Fault Finding
		Historical geology is the study of the fossils and rock formations found in the earth, and from the positioning of these fossils and rock layers called "strata" we derive information regarding the estimate of the age of the earth, and the estimates of the ages of particular layers of rock.
		Historical geology is a misnomer, since evolutionists presume the ages to be prehistoric.
		Oard bases his theories upon vertical faulting and Woodmorappe's TAB model proposes that the deposition of strata occurred in a sequence as the earth's crust downwarped.

		The topographic trace of the fault zone is quite straight and is marked by aligned canyons and notches eroded in the sheared and broken rock.
		At present, however, the areas across the fault from each deposit are mantled by sedimentary rocks that are older than the conglomerates, which of course means that the basement rocks of these areas were not available as sources of clasts for the conglomerates.
		Southwest of the San Gabriel fault zone, and 4 to 6 miles northwest of Castaic, coarse conglomerates are interbedded in sandstone and siltstone of the Modelo formation, as shown on the large-scale inset map in figure 1.

	Structural Geology of Fault Rocks and Brittle Shear Zones
		Field observations of the diversity of intersection geometries between upper plate faults and the detachment, the presence of gouge oriente d parallel/sub-parallel to upper plate structures, and the incorporation of upper plate material into t he gouge reveal a strong kinematic coupling between slip on upper plate faults and slip on the detachment.
		Downdip trends in the strike of upper plate faults may reflect a spatial variation in the obliquity of slip along the detachment; the variation in slip direction may be due in part to the upper plate moving over an irregular detachment.
		Below a sharp, locally striated fault plane at the base of the hanging wall is a fault-parallel layer of aphanitic gouge, from a few to 30 cm thick, which has a strong microfabric indicative of high shear strains (>>10) and which presents evidence that fluids were present during deformation.
