Fault Breccia

Fault breccia is a type of fault rock characterized by angular clasts and fragmented particles formed through brittle deformation within a fault zone, distinguished from other fault rocks by its lack of significant mineral alignment and its genesis via mechanical shattering during seismic slip.
