1. (a) Map showing the location of major normal faults in Malta.
(a) Map showing the location of major normal faults in Malta. MF, Maghlaq Fault; VLF, Victoria Lines Fault. Based on Dart et al. (1993) and Bonson et al. (2007) and modified from Rotevatn et al. (2016). (b) Geological map of the Maghlaq Fault, outcropping along 4 km of the southwestern coastline of Malta. Note that individual members of the stratigraphic formations are not distinguished on the map. The topographic contour intervals are in metres above sea level. Location is shown in (a). The study area is located in the WSW, marked by the red polygon and shown in (c). Based on Dart et al. (1993) and Bonson et al. (2007) and modified from Rotevatn et al. (2016). (c) Perspective view on to satellite imagery draped on digital elevation model showing the study area on the WSW coastline of Malta. The studied deformation bands are located within the MGLM interval within the fault block bounded by the Gahr ix-Xaghra Fault and the Maghlaq Fault. The location is shown in (b). The red star shows the location of the area shown in Figure 6 which is used in the reservoir models in the present study. No vertical exaggeration. MF, Maghlaq Fault; LGLM, Lower Globigerina Limestone Member; MGLM, Middle Globigerina Limestone Member. Modified from Rotevatn et al. (in review); imagery courtesy of Google Earth.
