The Dent Fault is a major fault geology fault on the boundary between the counties of Cumbria and North Yorkshire in northern England . The fault is named for the village of Dent, Cumbria Dent in Dentdale on the western margin of the Yorkshire Dales . The fault, or rather the Dent Fault System a collection of closely associated faults and folds, defines the western edge of the Askrigg Block , a geological structure which underlies the Yorkshire Dales. The fault is associated with the Taythes Anticline to its west and the Fell End Syncline to its east. Other than vertical movement on the fault, there has also been an element of strike slip movement. To the north, the fault links with the Pennine Fault System in the vicinity of Brough and with the Craven Fault near Kirkby Lonsdale to the south. ref Stone et al. 2010 British Regional Geology Northern England 5th edition Keyworth, Notts, British Geological Survey ref References reflist Category Geology of England Category Geology of Cumbria Category Geology of North Yorkshire ... more details

A fault indicator is a device which provides visual or remote indication of a Fault power engineering fault on the electric power system. Also called a faulted circuit indicator FCI , the device is used in electric power distribution networks as a means of automatically detecting and identifying Fault power engineering faults to reduce outage time. Overhead indicators are used to visualize the occurrence of an electrical fault on an overhead electrical system. Underground indicators locate faults on an underground system. Often these devices are located in an underground vault. Some fault indicators communicate back to a central location using radio or cellular signals. Basic principles During an electrical fault on a grounded system, additional current flows through a conductor, which is picked up by the fault indicator causing a state change on the mechanical target flag, LED , or remote indication device. Ground fault indicators for ungrounded systems sense the vector sum of the current and look for an imbalance indicating a fault on one or more of the three phases. High voltage Fuse electrical fuses commonly drop down after operating, making it obvious where the fault is. History The first fault indicators came onto the market from Horstmann Germany in 1946.

The rocks on the SW side of the fault have been lifted up forming steep cliffs of Triassic Wingate Sandstone Wingate sandstone and Chinle formation . At the north end of the Moab valley, there is a fault transfer zone, where the fault steps east. This zone transfers the displacement along the fault from one segment to another. Within this zone there is very dense faulting. This is revealed in the road cutting for U.S. Route 191 Highway 191 as seen in this picture taken from the nearby Arches National Park visitor centre.

Fault breccia , or tectonic breccia , is a breccia a rock geology rock type consisting of angular clast s, pron en br t i , IPA en br i , Italian for breach that was formed by tectonics tectonic forces. Fault breccia is a tectonite formed by localized zone of brittle deformation a fault geology fault zone in a rock. Origin Fault breccias are tectonites formed primarily by tectonic movement along a localized zone of brittle deformation a fault geology fault zone in a rock formation or province. The grinding and milling occurring when the two sides of the fault zone moving along each other results in a material that is made of loose fragments. Because of this fragmentation fault zones are easily infiltrated by groundwater . Secondary minerals such as calcite , epidote , quartz or talc can precipitation chemistry precipitate from the circulating groundwater filling the voids and cementing the rock. However, when the tectonic movement along the fault zone continues the cement itself can be fragmented leading to a new gouge material containing neoformed clasts. Deeper in the Earth s crust geology crust , where temperatures and pressures are higher, the rocks in the fault zone can still brecciate, but they keep their internal cohesion. The resulting type of rock is called a cataclasite . Properties Fault breccia has no cohesion , it is normally an consolidation soil unconsolidated rock type, unless cementation took place at a later stage. Sometimes a distinction is made between fault gouge and fault breccia, the first has a smaller grain size . ref Twiss, R.J. & Moores, E.M., 2000 6 sup th sup edition Structural Geology , W.H.
