Hidden thrust · folds the surface. A thrust fault that stops below the ground. The slip dies out at the buried fault tip, so instead of breaking, the rock above bends into a fold that grows a little with each earthquake. The front face shows the fault in cross-section.

An interactive 3D model of the full earthquake cycle on this fault: rotate, zoom and step through strain, rupture, seismic waves and offset. Works offline in any current browser on Windows, Mac or Chromebook, with no installs.
