Abstract
Faulting imposes strains on wall-rock volumes. In suitably bedded sequences, wall-rock strains are partly accommodated by bed-parallel slip. Bed-parallel slip may displace fault zone margins, giving rise to fault-surface asperities that are sheared off during subsequent fault slip. The removal of asperities formed by bed-parallel slip can make a significant contribution to fault zone thickness.
