Basic characteristics of growth fault
1. Fault properties: Growth faults are mainly extensional and extensional-torsional faults.
2. Arc-shaped on the plane: A single growing normal fault is often arc-shaped on the plane, and the concave surface points to the descending wall.
3. The stratum of the descending wall is obviously thickened
4. The drop increases with the depth
5. Shovel-shaped on the fault plane
6. The number of layers of the sand layer in the descending plate increases, and the thickness of the single layer increases
7. Development of tilted fault blocks and reverse traction structures
