Failure Modes and Fault Morphology by Adam J. Cawood, David A. Ferrill, Kevin J. Smart

“…This finding is in direct contrast with the often-assumed concept of faults forming by shear failure on surfaces oriented 30° to σ1. Distinct failure behaviors are consistent with patchworks of volume neutral, volume gain, and volume loss zones along the fault surfaces, indicating that the characterized faults likely represent dual conduit-seal systems for fluid flow.…”
