Which block is the hanging wall? When rocks slip past each other in faulting,the upper or overlying block along the fault planeis called the hanging wall, or headwall; the block below is called the footwall. The fault strike is the direction of the line of intersection between the fault ...
What is faulting 9? When the crustal rocks are subjected to horizontal compressional pressure, they develop fractures or cracks along the line of weakness. These lines of fracture are known as faults. In faulting,blocks of rocks may move up or down. Block mountains and rift valleys are formed...

From a re-evaluation of the record of British historical seismicity and evidence for recent faulting a provisional seismotectonic model is emerging that can hope to extend the understanding already achieved for the Rhine graben, through the south North Sea, and into England. Rapid and differential ...
The lignite seams are in very different depths due to the Cenozoic faulting and block formation with the highest seams in the most eastern, the Ville unit (Fig. 6). Industrial lignite mining started in this part of the district southwest from Cologne where lignite seams could be easily ...
