Figure 6-3. Structurally-constrained channel and levee turbiditic systems: seismic line (left) and detail of part with significant syn-tectonic fault growth. Flow direction is controlled by the movement along the listric faults: during the active tectonic phase, channel axes in the faulted area shift by 90° and run perpendicular to the slope, following the topography created by the salt movement.
