Representation of the concentration (density) of mapped fault intersections within Western Australia derived from the 1: 500 000 linear structures layer

The primary data were initially filtered by faults and then processed in a GIS application to extract points at the fault intersections. A density map then was created representing the density of the fault intersections. Fault density is used as a proxy for structural complexity.

Raster image showing the density of the linear features (filtered by faults) in the neighbourhood of each output raster cell (nsre). Areas in red indicate a higher concentration of fault intersections.

Stretched (percent clip – min. and max. 0.5%). Nearest neighbour.

Cell resolution is 0.05° (5 km)
