Faults usually can be identified through either steep gradients or truncation of trends.

The figure below contains two Bouguer gravity maps of Southern California, showing the expression of faults. In the left map, locations ''a'' and ''b'' show strong gradients, which indicate faults. A series of truncated trends (dashed) near location c also indicate faults. [[:file:applying-gravity-in-petroleum-exploration_fig15-3.png|Figure 1]] shows the actual location of the major faults over the same gravity map.
