Rifting = continental crust breaking
3 main stages
• before breaking: pre-rift (bulging due to increase thermic flux)
• thinning of the crust, due to faults: syn-rift (formation of a
graben)
• after the breaking, with active oceanic accretion: post-rift

Normal fault : a fault with a major dip-slip component in which the hanging wall is on

Example of the North sea
Rifting generates:
- potential traps such
as tilted blocks behind
major normal faults,
- numerous secondary
faults that will form
compartments within
traps
Post rift

Hanging wall and Foot wall
We classify faults by how the two rocky blocks on either side of a fault move relative to
each other. The one you see here is a reverse fault. Take a look at the side that shows the
fault and arrows indicating movement. See the block farthest to the right that is shaped
kind of like a foot? That’s the foot wall. Now look at the block on the other side of the
fault. See how it’s resting or hanging on top of the footwall block? That’s the hanging
wall.
Here’s another way to think of it: the hanging wall block is always above the fault plane,
while the foot wall block is always below the fault plane.
52
Exercise
Based on this cross-section, what can you tell about the fault activity ?
Draw sketches through time.
53
Start of extensional phase:
creation of a normal fault
54
Deposition of layer 1: the normal fault is possibly still active
55
Deposition of layer 2: inactive fault
Extensional phase:
normal faulting
56
Deposition of layer 4: the fault is inactive
57
Start of compressional phase: reverse
faulting

Different types of rocks.
Magmatic (endogen)
• Effusive or extrusive = volcanic: ex. basalt
• Intrusive = plutonic: ex. granite

Mineralogy
Siliciclastic rocks
• Silica : Quartz SiO2
• Silicates [SiO4]4- : Feldspars, Micas, Clays, Glauconite...
Carbonates
• Dolomite (Ca,Mg)(CO3)2
• Calcite, Aragonite CaCO3
Evaporites
• Chlorides : Halite NaCl, Sylvite KCl
• Sulfates : Anhydrite CaSO4, Gypsum CaSO4,2H2O
Organic-rich rocks :
• Coal, Lignite...

Sediment and sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of
material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.

Where do siliciclastic rocks form ?
96
Clastic sedimentation may be very diverse
Continental
• Aeolian (dunes in deserts)
• Glacial (due to glaciers movements)
• Lacustrine
• Fluvial
Marine
• Shallow marine deposits
• Deep marine deposits (turbidites)

A great variety of physical processes
GRAVITY
- subaerial (rock fall, scree, debris flow) Alluvial fans
- subaqueous (slide, slump, debris flow) Slopes and deep marine plains
102
Different possible types of transportation
produce different geometries of deposits
Tractive transport
Particles roll or skip on the sediment surface
Motion: rolling carpets or turbid clouds
Decrease of velocity downstream
Geometry of deposits: oblique laminae
Transport in suspension
Particles are in suspension in the water
Motion: ascentional motion due to turbulence
Decrease of turbulence produces vertical decantation
Geometry of deposits: horizontal laminae
