| 1. | One such area is the hanging wall of the Polaris fault.
|
| 2. | Hanging wall rocks at the Nalunaq Mine are Paleoproterozoic amphibolite-facies metavolcanics.
|
| 3. | These lead to ground instabilities, especially in the hanging wall, and serious safety hazards.
|
| 4. | The hanging wall moves downward, relative to the footwall.
|
| 5. | Most deformations occur within the hanging wall side.
|
| 6. | Thrust faults typically form ramps, flats and fault-bend ( hanging wall and foot wall ) folds.
|
| 7. | By definition, the hanging wall occurs above the fault plane and the footwall occurs below the fault.
|
| 8. | They result from sudden slippages of the hanging wall in the direction of the dip, causing earthquakes.
|
| 9. | The hanging wall, composed of extended, thinned and brittle crustal material, can be cut by numerous normal faults.
|
| 10. | The resulting structure is a syncline against the hanging wall of the fault next to an inclined anticline.
