A Corrigendum on
Displacement/length scaling relationships for normal faults; a review, critique, and revised compilation

by Lathrop BA, Jackson CA-L, Bell RE and Rotevatn A (2022). Front. Earth Sci. 10:907543. doi: 10.3389/feart.2022.907543

In the published article, there was an error. In the Abstract and Conclusions, it states that active faults are over-displaced. They are actually under-displaced. This does not change the findings of the work, and the body of the paper states this correctly.

A correction has been made to the Abstract. This sentence previously stated: “active faults tend to be over-displaced compared to inactive faults”. The corrected sentence is: “active faults tend to be under-displaced compared to inactive faults”.

A correction has been made to section 7 Conclusion. This sentence previously stated: “4) active faults tend to be over-displaced compared to inactive faults”. The corrected sentence is “4) active faults tend to be under-displaced compared to inactive faults”.

The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
