Figure 11. Three-dimensional diagrams of fault planes that form abutting interactions: (A) an example of an abutting fault that shares a footwall block with the main fault at the SAG horizon; (B) an example of an abutting fault that shares a hanging-wall block with the main fault at the KUP horizon. Throws are contoured onto each fault plane showing displacement transfer from the abutting fault to the main fault. See Figure 3C for the locations of these faults within the fault network.
