Criteria for recognition of faults

Faults are fractures or zones of fractures in rocks along which there has been displacement. Recognizing faults in the field is important in both physical and structural geology. Several criteria help geologists identify the presence and nature of faults. One major criterion is the presence of displacement or offset of rock beds, where layers that should align appear shifted or truncated.
