Fault Zone Geometry

Fault Zone Geometry is a structural geological construct that characterizes the three-dimensional configuration and spatial arrangement of fault surfaces and associated fractures within a tectonically active region, distinguishing it from other fault properties by focusing on form, orientation, and connectivity rather than kinematics or temporal evolution.
