Good article concerning faulting and magmatism
Geological reconstructions, thermochronology, paleomagnetic studies, and seismic reflection profiles, mainly published in the last 5 years, reinforce the view that active low-angle normal faulting in the brittle crust is widespread, underscoring the paradox of the seismicity data. Take a look at this figure
Intruding magma relative to the high pressures and crustal stresses can take an active role in driving low-angle faults. Please read the rest of this by click on the link below
