Animated Delta with growth faults

Image Description

• Description: Animation showing delta development on a ductile shale detachment. This leads to growth faults near the source and more distally located thurst systems. As the delta progrades the thrust systems may become inverted as thhey form the initiation points of gravity induced growth faults.
