Figure 14. Schematic diagram of throw profiles for abutting faults at different stages of development. Stage 1 is an isolated fault profile. Stage 2 is an early-stage abutment with throw minima at the tips of the faults; Stage 3 is an intermediate stage with throw increasing at the abutting tip; and Stage 4 is a fully developed abutting fault with a maximum throw at the abutting tip. Panels (A) and (B) represent abutting faults with an unrestricted and restricted tip, respectively. (C) Three-dimensional cartoon illustrating a developing abutting fault shaded. The shading represents the displacement distribution of the abutting fault. See text for discussion.
