  3. Anderson's theory of faulting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_Theory_of_Faulting

    Anderson's fault theory also presents a model for seismic interpretation. [7] This model predicts the dip of faults according to their regime classification. [2] Conjugate walls in any fault will share a dip angle with that angle being measured from the top of the hanging wall or the bottom of the foot wall. [2]

  4. Detachment fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachment_fault

    A detachment fault is a gently dipping normal fault associated with large-scale extensional tectonics. [1] Detachment faults often have very large displacements (tens of km) and juxtapose unmetamorphosed hanging walls against medium to high-grade metamorphic footwalls that are called metamorphic core complexes .

    OJW does not keep the upper and lower teeth in contact. The sole purpose of the wiring is to limit the extent to which the jaws may open. In the resting position, the teeth are parted 2–4 millimeters, with the lips lightly touching. (The ivy loop method used in the study in Nigeria also allows limited jaw movement.)

    The initially theory consisted of Haupl-Andersen's ideas who believed that Isometric Muscular Contraction caused by Myotatic reflex activity was the primary way functional adaptation of the appliance took place. The functional adaptation led to a new way of mandibular closing pattern.
