Abstract
null null We have analyzed the microfractures in samples taken near one thrust fault and five normal faults of known displacement to test the dependence of microfracture density and distribution on fault slip. We have also recorded the orientation of microfractures as a function of distance from the associated fault surface. In order to control as many parameters as possible, shallow faults with similar lithologies were chosen. They showed the...
