The question, he said, is do these thrust faults operate independently?

Although thrust faults do not break the surface, they leave disturbances that tell a story.

To the west they show a combination of thrust faulting and strike-slip.

The difference between a thrust fault and a reverse fault is in their influence.

Evidence of thrust faulting can be seen in the walls of the trench.

The conundrum was explained by the action of a thrust fault - this being the first to be discovered anywhere in the world.

They have been affected by strike-slip, normal, and thrust faulting at different times.

Like the earthquake today, it was centered about nine miles beneath the surface and occurred on a thrust fault.

Not surprisingly this is called a low-angle thrust fault.

A thrust fault is a reverse fault with a dip of 45 or less.

Blind thrust - along a thrust fault that does not show on the Earth's surface.

Thrust faults are another common form of deformation to occur in theses areas.

The shortening was accommodated by thrust faults and associated folds.

The magnitude 7.9 earthquake was also a result of thrust faulting on the same plate boundary.

The earthquake is thought to have occurred as a result of thrust faulting on the plate interface.

Reflected waves should provide images of buried thrust faults.

Instead thrust faults generally cause a thickening of the stratigraphic section.

It is a thrust fault, meaning the sides of the fault push toward each other.

The block was raised and tilted (by about 6 ) by thrust faulting.
