Four main features of faulting are:

  • Usually, faults do not occur singly but parallel to each other.

  • The elevated or depressed blocks of rocks are known as fault blocks.

  • A piece of block which is elevated is called a horst.

  • A depressed piece of land between two elevated blocks is called a graben or a rift valley.
