Synsedimentary faults along the Apulian margin are gravitational and tectonic.
Gravity-driven and tectonic faults are orthogonal to each other along NE–SW margin.
Gravity-driven and tectonic faults are sub-parallel along NW–SE margin.
Different structural architecture of the margins helps to recognise origin of faults.
The orientation and distribution of faults influence the migration of geofluids.
