Extensional Fault Systems A- Evolutionary model illustrating Progressive extension accommodated By blockrotation above a lowangle extensional fault. B- Listric fault with hangingwall rollover anticline. Area A and B are equal. C – Flat/ramp geometry of fault produces geometrically necessary folding in hangingwall. D- Antithetic faults in hangingwall. E – Synthetic faults in footwall forming listric fan. F- Extensional duplex with listric fan and antithetic counter fan. G- Two listric faults linked by a transfer fault;all three detach on the same sole fault
