Interaction among faults and influence on folding

Mechanical model of two interacting faults Savage, Heather M. and Michele L. COOKE. 2004. An investigation into the role of fault interaction on fold pattern, Journal of Structural Geology, vol. 26, pp 905-917. (PDF) Overlying fold shape (purple contours) depends on interaction among subsurface faults (red lines).

 

Is consideration of fold growth important for predicting subsurface fracture patterns?
