Document Summary
Restraining bend: a bend that facilitates movement along the strike of the fault. Releasing bend: a bend that obstructs movement along the strike of the fault. A tectonic regime combining strike-slip movement with oblique extension. A tectonic regime combining both strike-slip movement with oblique compression. Used to be a resort but it is drying up and horrifically polluted. We can also find the same fault with different appearances depending on how deep the fault is and the strength of the rock it goes through. In this case, it is often just that the fault is not a single plane that results in the multiple deformations. Offset over a wide area, accommodate it through smaller deformations within the fault zone. You don"t need to be able to recreate or define riedel, but you should recognize them as part of ways a fault could affect the surface/ground/rock. Faults are rarely a single knife edge of deformation.
