Translations:Dictionary:Hanging wall/1/en

{{#category_index:H|hanging wall}} The side of a fault that lies above a dipping fault slope; the downthrown side for a normal fault. A hanging-wall slice is a seismic section showing reflections along a curved surface parallel to and displaced 50–100 m away from the fault plane (to get away from distorted data along the fault itself). See Brown (1999, 20–21, 225–232) and Figure F-2.
