The Landsat and SLAR images of exposed Precambrian crystalline crust ([[:file:using-magnetics-in-petroleum-exploration_fig14-4.png|Figure 1]]) show highly lineated terrains and demonstrate that the linears fall into multiple parallel or subparallel sets of varying strike directions. These overlapping fracture sets cut the basement into blocks of varying shapes and sizes. This collection of basement blocks is the '''basement fault block pattern'''.
