1. Normal fault, reverse fault and strike - slip fault.

2. It formed the reverse fault or"normal flower structure"fault system by press-wrenching in Pretertiary.

3. So the fault on the cliff is a reverse fault because the red rock layer in the hanging wall has moved up relative to that in the footwall.

4. The reverse fault in western Qaidam basin can be divided into three radical types as contemporaneous reverse fault, epigenetic- contemporaneous reverse fault and contemporaneous fault.

5. When the dip angle is shallow a reverse fault is often described as a thrust fault.

6. Because the effect of the reverse fault is very complex, the study on the response of the buried pipelines due to the reverse fault is difficult and less to be carried out.

7. Crossing angle has small effect to the response of the buried pipeline under the action of the reverse fault.

8. By means of a protective relay test set, using constant source impedance model,(/reverse fault.html) the dynamic characteristic of a LZ-16 relay for both a forward and reverse fault is tested with success.

9. The most critical factors in evaluating and predicting such traps sealed by the reverse fault are the analysis of strike closure and the estimation of fault sealing.

10. It is concluded that this strike-slip fault is in tensoshear property and should be lagging products associated with reverse fault of NE trend.

11. The pipe is damaged more seriously when the dip angle of the reverse fault is large.

12. But to the region of nappe structure, by the reason of rising reverse fault top wall, so we just can calculate the fault geometry under the footwall breakpoint.

13. New results of field investigations show that the eastern Liupanshan piedmond fault is an active reverse fault zone since late Quaternary.

14. The pipeline with greater depth would be damaged more seriously under the action of the reverse fault.
