Question

13. Figure 2-M13 shows the trace of a fault on a structure-contour map. The contour lines are on the Prendow unconformity. The cut point at which Well 46 intersects the fault is at a depth of 50 m below the level at which the well crosses the unconformity. The cut point at which Well 50 intersects the fault is at a depth of 300 m below the unconformity.

a) What type of fault is shown?

b) What is the attitude of the fault?

(b) What is the attitude of the fault? (O) Assuming that the slip direction on the fault is parallel to the dip of the fault, what is the magnitude of displacement on the fault? _ 400 W50 300 200 W46 n. 400 200

Explanation / Answer

The fault is normal fault

The magnitude of the displacement of the fault is 850-900meter.

Attitude is approximately 45degree
