Question

Many thrust faults are characterized by trajectory, in which the fault follows bedding _ detachments in units and climbs through more units along ramps. These fault initiated folds are known as smooth, perpendicular, competent incompetent, fault propogation fold stair-step, parallel, competent, incompetent, fault bend fold stair-step, parallel, incompetent units. competent, fault bend fold smooth, parallel, brittle, ductile,fault bend fold smooth. perpendicular, competent, incompetent. fault bend fold smooth, parallel, brittle, ductile,fault propogation fold

Explanation / Answer

Many thrust faults are characterized by a stair-step trajectory, in which the fault follows bedding parallel detachments in incompetent units and climbs through more competent units along ramps. These fault initiated folds are known as fault bend fold.
