We introduce SVC in this paper as one of the tools for estimating the depth of subsurface faults using gravity data. We can suppose that each subsurface fault depth is a class and that SVC is a classification algorithm. To better use the SVC algorithm, we select proper depth estimation features using a proper features selection （FS） algorithm. In this research, we produce a training set consisting of synthetic gravity profiles created by subsurface faults at different depths to train the SVC code to estimate the depth of real subsurface faults.
