Rupture dimensions of an earthquake fault are important parameters for characterizing the earthquake rupture and studying earthquake mechanics. They have been inferred from aftershock distribution (Alparone and Gambino 2003), seismic reflection and refraction imaging (Minshull and Hall 1997; Catchings et al.

Abstract The May 12, 2008, Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake occurred along the Longmen Shan fault zone, a thrust fault zone on the eastern margin of Tibet Plateau, and ruptured the ground surface for more than 200 km. A field investigation suggests that the earthquake also ruptured the northern segment (from Beichuan to Qingchuan), along which active ...

Destruction on Buildings and Houses Related to Coseismic Surface Rupturing
2017The Kumamoto earthquake series caused a maximum seismic intensity of 7 (on the Japanese 7-point seismic intensity scale) at both areas around the epicenters of the largest foreshock (Mw 6.1) and the Mw 7.1 main shock (Japan Meteorological Agency 2016), indicating severe damage and disruption throughout central Kyushu Island, including the Aso caldera ...

Coseismic surface ruptures of 20 strike-slip earthquakes measured from geodetic imaging data
Earthquake SpectraObservations of coseismic surface ruptures are widely used for examining faulting mechanics and kinematics, and in fault displacement hazard analysis. Here, first, we provide new remote sensing observations of 20 historic surface rupturing continental strike-slip earthquakes (6.1 ≤ M w ≤ 7.9).

The source rupture processes and coseismic surface rupture of the Wenchuan earthquake are recognized as having the complicated patterns of a great earthquake. In this article, we review some of the Wenchuan earthquake source studies conducted by scientists from Taiwan and mainland China under the scientific cooperation of both sides of the Taiwan ...

Extensional reactivation of thrust faults north of the Uinta Mountains in Utah and Wyoming is accompanied by Quaternary surface faulting, tilting, and monoclinal folding. The 40-km-long Bear River fault zone consists of down-to- the-west, right-stepping, en echelon scarps, each about 3.0 to 3.5 km in length, striking N20°W to N20°E.

This chapter presents a case study of deformation structures of the coseismic surface ruptures produced by the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun earthquake along the strike-slip Kunlun Fault in northern Tibet. Field investigations, seismic data, and interpretations of high-resolution remote sensing images reveal the geometric and deformational characteristics and ...
