Thrust Fault Systems

Thrust Fault Systems is a structural geological construct that characterizes networks of low-angle reverse faults in which crustal shortening is accommodated by the transport of upper-plate rock units over lower-plate units, typically in convergent tectonic settings associated with collision tectonics, planetary crustal deformation, and compressional orogenic systems.
