terraces, and alluvial fans, have some predictable
geometries, different kinds of faults and folds
display contrasting styles of surface deformation,
as discussed in an ensuing chapter. When fault-
zone displacements are combined with rates
derived from dated and deformed geomorphic
markers, a three-dimensional reconstruction of
fault-zone evolution, rupture history, landscape
perturbations, and geomorphic responses can
be attained.
