A growth fault is a type of normal fault that occurs in sedimentary basins, where the faulting process happens concurrently with sediment deposition. As sediments accumulate, the weight can lead to subsidence along the fault plane, creating a situation where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. This results in a fault that is actively forming and growing as new layers of sediment are deposited, often creating a characteristic wedge-shaped geometry. Growth faults are commonly associated with tectonic activity and can influence the structure and stratigraphy of the basin.
