Volume-based Curvature Computations Illuminate Fracture Oientations – Early to mid-Paleozoic, Central Basin Platform, West Texas;Figure 1) Curvature in two dimensions. Note that curvature is defined as the inverse of the radius of a circle that is tangent to the surface at any point and that, by convention, positive curvature is concave downward, and negative curvature is concave upward ;Figure 2) Curvature in three dimensions, showing maximum curvature kmax, minimum curvature kmin, dip curvature kdip, and strike curvature kstr. Not shown are Gaussian curvature kg, mean curvature kmean, most positive curvature kpos, and most negative curvature kneg ;;Figure 3) Location of the Permian Basin and Central Basin Platform of west Texas and eastern New Mexico ;;Figure 5) Devonian structure map from the study area. Note the east-northeast–west-southwest-trending red faults and the northwest-southeast-trending blue faults. The red faults show virtually no horizontal separation whereas the blue faults show substantial horizontal separation. Lines A and B are discussed in Figures 6,7, respectively. ;North - South;East - West;;;Figure 10) Comparison of curvature attributes. 10 a) Gaussian curvature. Red indicates high positive values, green indicates high negative values. 10 b) Maximum curvature. Red indicates large positive values, green indicates large negative values. Red circle indicates anticline-syncline pairs. ;10 c) Most positive curvature. Red indicates large positive values, gray indicates values less than or equal to zero. Parallel trends replaced by positive trends only. 10 d) Most negative curvature. Red indicates large negative values, grey indicates values greater than or equal to zero. Purple box indicates shows strong negative curvature indicating drag in the downthrown block.;Figure 11) Most positive curvature as shown in 10c with the lineaments picked in the appropriate colors ;Figure 12 a);Figure 12 a);Figure 12 b);Figure 13 a);Figure 13 c)
