Some methods of direct determination of the parameters of a two‐dimensional structural fault with horizontal plane faces, from the gravity profile caused by it, have been formulated in this paper. The upward continuation of the two‐dimensional gravity profile plays an important role in these methods. The determinations by these methods are unique for structures of the same type in the sense that no structure of the same type other than that arrived at by the proposed methods can give rise to the observed anomaly. The necessary coefficients for upward continuation of two‐dimensional gravity data and the theory involved in their determinations form the appendix of this paper.

In their paper, Paul et al. have outlined a useful method by which the parameters of a two‐dimensional fault can be directly determined from the gravity data. The upward continuation of the gravity profile over the fault plays a very important role in this method. The necessary coefficients for the upward continuation and the theory involved in their determination form the appendix of the paper. The equation (9) in the appendix is incorrect since for any positive integral values of m and n, the coefficients Q(m, n) become quite large and negative, which will never satisfy the relation (10). The correct equation (9) should be [Formula: see text]

Research has been carried out related to subsurface structures in the Tejakula Buleleng Bali area and its surroundings using the gravity method. This study aims to identify the local Tejakula fault. The data used in this study is gravity anomaly data obtained from observations of Geodetic Satellite (GEOSAT). The method used in interpreting the type of disturbance uses the Second Vertical Derivative method, which then produces two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) fault model interpretations. Based on the results obtained in the study, the condition of the bouguer gravity anomaly value in the Tejakula area and its surroundings at the research location is in the range of 65 mGal to 185 mGal. Meanwhile, based on the Second Vertical Derivative method in determining the type of fault, the Tejakula Fault can be categorized as a mandatory fault with an upward trend.

An important possible constraint on a density model obtained from inversion of gravity data has been overlooked in the seminal paper by Green. The computed density model should be such that the corresponding total mass excess or deficit per unit length in a two‐dimensional case, or total mass excess or deficit in a three‐dimensional case, should be comparable to the value obtained by applying Gauss’s theorem to the observed gravity anomaly data (Grant and West, 1965, p. 227–28 and p. 232).

The magnetic anomaly profile across a two‐dimensional block faulted at right angles to the ground surface looks very similar to the anomaly profile across a dike and can be decomposed into a symmetric part and an antisymmetric part. Following Koulomzine et al (1970), these parts are separately analyzed and expressions for diagnostic parameters derived. The values of these parameters, obtained from the components of a field profile, help in distinguishing the source (dike or faulted block) and in determining the geometry of the block analytically or with the aid of six master curves. Some features of the application and sensitivity of the method are discussed. Field examples are given from the western margin of the Perth basin in Western Australia and from Lachlan foldbelt in New South Wales.
