Welcome to the Excel Workbook "RTe-bookAgDegNormalFault.

xls"

This workbook is a companion to "RTe-bookAgDegNormal.xls".

It is identical to that workbook, except for one added feature.
In the present workbook, it is possible to allow the bed to undergo a sudden vertic
at a specified place and time. Faulting is realized by moving all notes dow
specified point downward by the amount of the faulting.

For more description of the workbook and code, see "RTe-bookAgDegNormal.xls"
