Image Fault Horst Graben.svg thumb Faultblock geology Faultblock landforms mountains, hills, ridges, etc. are formed when large areas of bedrock are widely broken up by fault geology faults creating large vertical displacements of continental crust. Vertical motion of the resulting blocks, sometimes accompanied by tilting, can then lead to high escarpment s. These mountains are formed by the Earth s crust being stretched and extended by tension physics tensional forces . Faultblock mountains commonly accompany rift ing, another indicator of tensional tectonic forces. The uplifted blocks are called block mountains or Horst geology horsts . The intervening dropped blocks are termed graben .These can be small or form extensive rift valley systems. Two types of block mountains are lifted and tilted. Tilted type block mountains have one gently sloping side and one steep side with an exposed scarp, and are common in the Basin and Range Province Basin and Range region of the western United States . Level blocks lead to the Horst geology horst and graben terrain seen in northern Europe . Lifted type block mountains have two steep sides exposing both sides scarps.

The Dent Fault is a major fault geology fault on the boundary between the counties of Cumbria and North Yorkshire in northern England . The fault is named after the village of Dent, Cumbria Dent in Dentdale on the western margin of the Yorkshire Dales . The fault, or rather the Dent Fault System a collection of closely associated faults and folds, defines the western edge of the Askrigg Block , a geological structure which underlies the Yorkshire Dales. The fault is associated with the Taythes Anticline to its west and the Fell End Syncline to its east. Other than vertical movement on the fault, there has also been an element of strike slip movement. To the north, the fault links with the Pennine Fault System in the vicinity of Brough and with the Craven Fault near Kirkby Lonsdale to the south. ref Stone et al. 2010 British Regional Geology Northern England 5th edition Keyworth, Notts, British Geological Survey ref References reflist Category Geology of England Category Geology of Cumbria Category Geology of North Yorkshire ... more details

It is a fault geology fault that separates the granite of Lusatia from the Cretaceous sandstone s of North Bohemia to the south. It is assumed that there was a fault throw of several hundred metres whereby the northern block was uplifted or upthrust relative to the southern block. Course The start of the fault in the west is assessed as being near Oschatz , but it first becomes topographically significant as a steep ledge near Weinb hla . From there it runs eastwards along the northern perimeter of the Dresden Basin and forms the Elbe valley slopes from Radebeul via Dresden to Pirna . From there it continues rather less noticeably along the northern edge of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains via Hohnstein Saxon Switzerland Hohnstein and Hinterhermsdorf .

According to the Federal Standard 1037C of the United States, the term fault has the following meanings An accidental condition that causes a functional unit to fail to perform its required function. A defect that causes a reproducible or catastrophic malfunction. A malfunction is considered reproducible if it occurs consistently under the same circumstances. In Electric power power systems, an unintentional short circuit , or partial short circuit, between energized conductor material conductor s or between an energized conductor and ground electricity ground . A distinction can be made between Symmetric fault symmetric and asymmetric fault s.
