N2 - Present nomenclature of faults and flanking structures is ambiguous. This paper presents a system for description of flanking structures, based on geometric parameters and independent of kinematic frame. The description can be made using two levels of accuracy. A qualitative method is described using four geometric features: tilt, slip, lift and roll. This method is suggested for practical use in the field, since it does not involve measurements or complicated procedures. In parallel, a quantitative approach is also presented, based on analytical modelling of BeŽzier curves. This method requires measurement of geometric features and involves mathematical treatment, but allows comparison between different flanking structures. Œ 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
