gravity fault
A gravity fault is a geological formation where a block of rock has moved downward due to the force of gravity, with a significant vertical displacement. It is usually caused by gravitational pull along a steeply-dipping fault plane when the overlying block of rock becomes too heavy and unstable. It often occurs in mountainous regions or in areas with high subsurface erosion.
