Fault Block Diagrams

Block diagram showing an interior fault surface with slip vectors shown in brown.
Fault block diagrams. The maximum slip is in the interior and the slip decreases towards the tip line fault margin. A diagram outlining the basics of faulting. Once cut out students should fold on the dotted lines to form the blocks.
Since this is a series combination the equivalent transfer function is simply the product of the individual transfer functions. A fracture in bedrock along which rocks on one side have moved relative to the other side. Tape the flaps together to create a 3 d fault block.
It is a flat surface that may be vertical or sloping. Encyclopaedia britannica universal images group getty images. The fault plane is where the action is.
In a reverse fault the block down dip of the fault line moves up u relative to the opposite block figure 4d. Fault trees and reliability block diagrams are both symbolic analytical logic techniques that can be applied to analyze system reliability and related characteristics. Carefully cut out the fault block along the outer solid black lines.
How to interpret a block diagram on multiple planes. This diagram depicts the types of stresses available. A fracture on a rock without noticeable movement.
The slip gradient depicted here as expressed in unit decrease per unit length is higher here than is typical for rocks. Some parts of the earth are pushed upward and others collapse. Fault trees and reliability block diagrams are both symbolic analytical logic techniques that can be applied to analyze system reliability and related characteristics.
