(geology) A type of reverse fault in which the angle that the hanging wall makes with the horizontal is less than 45 degrees.

(geology) Accumulated crushed rock debris which is the product of the movement of the rocks on each side of a fault.

(seismology) A step-like feature formed by the slippage of a short section of the surface along a fault line.

(geology) The plane, or surface formed between the two rock blocks that slip one with the other during an earthquake. The edge of the fault plane can often be seen on the land as a fault line.

(geology) A line drawn on a map to represent the position of a fault line.

(geology) A strike-slip fault that shows right lateral movement.

(geology) A strike-slip fault that shows left lateral movement.

(geology) A fault that does not slip due to high friction. Such faults accumulate stress which is finally released as an earthquake.

A geologic fault which has exhibited seismic activity within a geologically recent time period.

(computing) An alert (such as an interrupt or exception) indicating that a page of memory was accessed without being loaded.
