Fault zones are related to numerous phenomena such as the opening and closing of ocean basins and the rise and fall of mountain ranges. Fault zones not only influence the mechanical properties and seismological behaviour of the Earth’s crust but also the migration of elements and trapping of sub-surface fluids.Fault zones are related to numerous phenomena such as the opening and closing of ocean basins and the rise and fall of mountain ranges.
