Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Though, contour values are not much more clear in the attached figure but the concept of determine displacement along fault can be as follows;

The subsurface features such as fault can be understand by structure contours, if the linear and uniform values of contours shows sudden changes in the quadrangle then there is fault along that contours. And the difference in contour values would represent the displacement along fault.

And the uniformity of fault can be determine by analysing the values of contours, if the value remains same then fault follows uniformity otherwise not.
