Normal fault growth in layered rocks with contrasting lithologies: a case study from the upper tip of the Argence Fault (Charente, France)
Increasing displacement along an isolated fault is generally associated with fault propagation within the host rock.This propagation is controlled by several factors, including host-rock lithology, tectonic context and the presence of preexisting structures.Consequently, fault propagation is rarely linear and continuous, instead often alternating b
