Growth Faulting

Growth Faulting is a syndepositional normal faulting process in sedimentary basins wherein differential subsidence and sediment accumulation across the fault plane result in progressive thickening of strata toward the downthrown block, distinguishing it from non-growth faulting by its temporal correlation with sedimentation.
