under volcanoes can control the edifice structure and can
generate collapse events. To study faulting effects, we explore
a wide range of fault geometries and motions, from normal,
through vertical to reverse and dip-slip to strike-slip, using
simple analogue models. We explore the effect of cumulative sub-
volcanic fault motions and find that there is a strong influence
on the structural evolution and potential instability of
volcanoes. The variety of fault types and geometries are tested
with realistically scaled displacements, demonstrating a general
tendency to produce regions of instability parallel to fault
strike, whatever the fault motion. Wher
