“…11c, d) which affected a large volume of rock mass. Thus, fault-fault intersections (Tripp and Vearncombe 2004 and references therein) have been recognised as a main reason for the enhancement of fracturing and permeability in the study area. The travertines exposed at Cava Oliviera quarry are located just at the intersection between the Rapolano Fault and younger faults.…”

“…In fact, faults and fractures are the most ubiquitous and efficient avenue for fluid migration in the Earth's crust (Kerrich 1986;Aydin 2000;Caine et al 1996;Curewitz and Karson 1997;Tripp and Vearncombe 2004;Sibson 2000). Faulting guaranties the opening of fractures in the bedrock, favouring the circulation and upwelling of hydrothermal fluids in those areas characterised by anomalous geothermal gradients (Bellani et al 2004 with references therein).…”

“…Fault intersections are recognised as highly efficient and focussed fluid conduits important for forming mineral deposits (Betts & Lister, 2002;Craw, 2000;Sibson, 1996;Tripp & Vearncombe, 2004). The importance of fault intersections in earthquake behaviour has also been recognised, where they provide locations for the initiation and cessation of ruptures, concentrate stress and generate earthquakes, control earthquake sequences by loading or unloading stresses on adjacent faults, promote fluid flow and provide localised weak spots (Talwani, 1999).…”

“…In particular, some of the high-dipping to sub-vertical conduits are localized along linked fault intersection zones mostly at the extensional quadrants. Focused fluid flow at fault intersections has been documented in hydrothermal settings by field (Craw, 2000;Tripp and Vearncombe, 2004) and numerical studies (Person et al, 2012). In the case of rainfall in karstic environments, fault intersection focuses water infiltration mostly coming from runoff, potentially forming sub-vertical cave conduits within the vadose zone.…”
