When faulting occurs across a river valley, vertical displacement of land may occur.
When faulting occurs across a river valley,it may cause the river to disappear into the ground through a fault line.
Faulting may lead to the formation of escarpments with springs forming at the base due to exposure of the water table.
If rift faulting occurs in an enclosed area, a basin may be formed. When rivers flow into a the basin, a lake may be formed. This basin may become an area of inland drainage.
Uplifting of land which follows faulting may block a river. This may cause it to reverse or change its direction of flow.
Some rivers may end up flowing along fault lines,thus forming a fault-guided drainage pattern.
Faulting causes depressions which may be filled with water to form rift valley lakes.
Faulting causes fault-guided drainage pattern.
Faulting causes oozing of water to form springs.
Faulting causes cracks/fault lines which may cause rivers to disappear underground.
Faulting may cause rivers to change their direction of flow/reversed drainage.
Vertical faulting across a river may cause a waterfall.
