Editing Thrust fault (section)

==History==
Thrust faults were unrecognised until the work of [[Arnold Escher von der Linth]], [[Albert Heim]] and [[Marcel Alexandre Bertrand]] in the Alps working on the [[Glarus Thrust]]; [[Charles Lapworth]], [[Ben Peach]] and [[John Horne]] working on parts of the [[Moine Thrust Belt|Moine Thrust]] in the [[Scottish Highlands]]; [[Alfred Elis Törnebohm]] in the Scandinavian Caledonides and [[R. G. McConnell]] in the Canadian Rockies.<ref>Peach, B. N., Horne, J., Gunn, W., Clough, C. T. & Hinxman, L. W. 1907.

Rept., '''2''', p. 41.</ref> The realisation that older strata could, via faulting, be found above younger strata was arrived at more or less independently by geologists in all these areas during the 1880s. [[Archibald Geikie|Geikie]] in 1884 coined the term ''thrust-plane'' to describe this special set of faults. He wrote:
<blockquote>By a system of reversed faults, a group of strata is made to cover a great breadth of ground and actually to overlie higher members of the same series. The most extraordinary dislocations, however, are those to which for distinction we have given the name of Thrust-planes. They are strictly reversed faults, but with so low a hade that the rocks on their upthrown side have been, as it were, pushed horizontally forward.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.see.leeds.ac.uk/structure/tectonics/thrust_tectonics/|title=Thrust Tectonics|website=see.leeds.ac.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=The Crystalline Rocks of the Scottish Highlands|journal=Nature|date=November 13, 1884|volume=31|issue=785|pages=29–31|doi=10.1038/031029d0|author=Archibald Geikie|bibcode = 1884Natur..31...29G |doi-access=free}}</ref></blockquote>
