  Thrust \Thrust\, n.

     3. (Mech.) The force or pressure of one part of a
        construction against other parts; especially (Arch.), a

     Thrust plane (Geol.), the surface along which dislocation
        has taken place in the case of a reversed fault.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Push; shove; assault; attack.
  
     Usage: Thrust, Push, Shove. Push and shove usually
            imply the application of force by a body already in
            contact with the body to be impelled. Thrust, often,
            but not always, implies the impulse or application of
            force by a body which is in motion before it reaches
            the body to be impelled.

  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.
