| Abstract: | The stress system induced the weight of a sediment and the pore fluid it contains, termed the passive stress system, is capable of deforming the sediment. This volumetric deformation is examined with respect to the evolution of porosity and permeability during burial. The effect of this self deformation on the shape of growth faults and normal faults in extensional terrains is considered. |
| Keywords: | Consolidation Effective stress Growth fault Listric fault Overpressured pore fluids Permeability Porosity Stress path |
