The Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) is a décollement under the Himalaya Range. This thrust fault follows a NW-SE strike, reminiscent of an arc, and gently...

This list covers all faults and fault-systems that are either geologically important[clarification needed] or connected to prominent seismic activity.[clarification...

Main Central Thrust is a major geological fault where the Indian Plate has pushed under the Eurasian Plate along the Himalaya. The fault slopes down to...

types are normal faults, reverse faults, thrusts or thrust faults and strike-slip faults. Many faults may have acted as both normal faults at one time and...

Thrust may also refer to: Thrust fault, in geology Thrust block, a specialised form of thrust bearing used in ships Thrust (particle physics), a quantity...
