Fault \Fault\, n.       1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a             crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with             another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the             circuit.          2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of             rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated             structure resulting from such slipping.          Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have                moved is called the          {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a          {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the             present relative position of the two masses could have             been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,             of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a          {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so             inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up             relatively, the fault is then called a          {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust},       {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault             is then called a          {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation             measured on the fault plane and in the direction of             movement is the          {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the          {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the          {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the             fault plane with a horizontal plane is the          {trend} of the fault. A fault is a          {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with             the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of             intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal             plane); it is a          {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike;             an          {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike.             Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called          {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel             faults are sometimes called          {step faults} and sometimes          {distributive faults}.
