On qualifie de «faille de déchirure», des cassures coulissantes qui désolidarisent deux compartiments en cours de déformation, leur permettant de subir des déformations indépendantes, différentes dans leur dessin et dans leur ampleur(par exemple des plis plus ou moins serrés). Ces failles diffèrent en cela des véritables décrochements, qui tranchent et décalent des structures préformées(c'est même ce décalage qui permet de les mettre en évidence) : ici il n’ y a pas décalage mais dissemblance des structures de part et d’autre de la faille. 2, record 3, French, - faille%20de%20d%C3%A9chirure
