The Geometry and growth of normal faults Normal faults are the primary structures that accommodate extension of the brittle crust. This volume provides an up to date overview of current research into the geometry and growth of normal faults. The 23 research papers present the findings of outcrop and subsurface studies of the geometrical evolution of faults from a number of basins worldwide complemented by analogue and numerical modelling studies of fundamental aspects of fault kinematics. The topics addressed include how fault length changes with displacement how faults interact with one another the controls of previous structure on fault evolution and the nature and origin of fault related folding. This volume will be of interest to those wishing to develop a better understanding of the structural geological aspects of faulting from postgraduate students to those working in industry
