Simple Extensional Growth Fault Structural Model

Video

Discussion

This example illustrates the core features and scientific principles of StructureSolver structural modeling, and shows how simply you can model an extensional growth fault.

The example includes the following steps:

  • Interpret a fault with a single convex bend
  • Add series of undeformed structural surfaces
  • Stretch growth sequence on hangingwall
  • Identify active axial surface, growth axial surface and oldest inactive axial surface
  • Animate structural model
  • Modify fault shape to make fault bend convex, with active axial surface automatically changing from antithetic to synthetic
  • Identify active axial surface, growth axial surface and oldest inactive axial surface
  • Animate structural model
  • Add more fault points to produce curvilinear fault trajectory and realistic rollover geometry
  • Animate structural model
  • Simple Extensional Growth Fault
  • Mississippi Canyon
  • NZ Crustal Fault
  • Failed Rift
  • Niger Delta Growth Fault
  • Lost Hills
  • Inversion Model
