A fault line is a break or fracture in the ground that occurs due to the discontinuity of the larger rocks mass and thus is due to the significant displacement of the rocks in the geologic crust.
As the youngest layer is found at the surface and the older layer is founded at the bottom the oldest will tose of the igneous rocks and the youngest will be those of the sedimentary rocks. The faults are composed of the mineral contents like the quartz, feldspar, and clay. And have an abundant of illite and the chlorite minerals.
The quantitative assessment of the vertical slip area of the fault gives in the estimation of the fault angles are called as the piercing points. The example of the rocky mountains of the Himalayan orogeny and those of that are formed by the granitic rocks and the genesis.
