	Growth faults are relatively small, about 15 km to 20 km wide and 45 km to 50 km long. As sedimentation on the [[delta]] front is strongly influenced by relative change of [[Sea Level\|sea level]], it generally considered that [[Sea Level Change\|sea level change]] also influences the formation of growth faults. Intense cyclonic [[storm]]s may change sedimentation pattern near the delta lobes and may a effect the formation of growth faults. They are important for oil and gas exploration and development. Normally huge quantity of liquid and gaseous [[hydrocarbon]] deposits is found in traps associated with growth fault. Niger delta of Nigeria is a good example of oil and gas accumulation associated with them.
