Oblique Faulting

Oblique Faulting is a type of lithospheric deformation characterized by fault displacement that occurs at an angle to both the dip and strike directions of the fault plane, involving simultaneous normal or reverse and strike-slip shear components, thereby distinguishing it from purely dip-slip or strike-slip faulting mechanisms.
