Frictional-viscous flow, seismicity and the geology of weak faults: a review and future directions

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2008
Abstract Previously hypothesized fault weakening mechanisms include faults lined by low-friction clay gouges, elevated pore pressures within fault cores and/or the operation of dynamic weakening during seismic slip. Geological studies to support dynamic weakening are still in their infancy and there is little geological evidence for the ...

Applications of quaternary geology to assess fault activity, Palmdale area, California, U.S.A.

Quaternary International, 1993
Abstract Quaternary geologic investigations are routinely applied in California to assess the time of last fault displacement for purposes of engineering mitigation and regional planning. This is exemplified by investigations for a 400-ha housing tract at Palmdale, California, where several photolineaments were trenched to determine their origin ...

The Geology of a Portion of the Redlands Quadrangle, California : a Study in Faulting

1931
The San Andreas Rift after passing through the Cajon Pass in Southern California proceeds approximately S 60° E along the base of the San Bernardino Mountains which rise to the north. About eight miles east of the city of Redlands, Mill Creek issues from the San Bernardino Mountains south-west on to the alluvium covered flood plain. Four miles to the

Surficial geology indicates early Holocene faulting and seismicity, central Sweden

International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014
In Sweden, knowledge of the location and timing of glacially induced faulting and seismicity is critical to effective engineering of a long-term nuclear disposal facility. To improve understanding and modeling of the complex ice-induced and tectonic stresses associated with glacially induced faulting, field studies detailing the location and timing of ...

Structural Geology of Shawneetown Fault Zone, Southeastern Illinois: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1983
Vertical movements of crustal blocks along the narrow east-west-trending Shawneetown fault zone in southeastern Illinois occurred between Early Permian and Late Cretaceous. The main blocks moved vertically and returned to roughly their original positions so that strata now show little relative offset across the fault zone.

Relations Among Fault Behavior, Subsurface Geology, and Three-Dimensional Velocity Models

Science, 1991
The development of three-dimensional P-wave velocity models for the regions surrounding five large earthquakes in California has lead to the recognition of relations among fault behavior and the material properties of the rocks that contact the fault at seismogenic depths; regions of high moment release appear to correlate with high seismic velocities ...

The Alpine Fault, New Zealand: Surface geology and field relationships

2007
The Alpine Fault forms part of the on-land Pacific-Australian plate boundary. Generally the fault has a simple straight trace, striking ca. 055° and dipping moderately eastwards, but in central areas it is serially partitioned. Late Quaternary strike-slip rates are 23-25 mm/yr, but dip-slip rates range from ca.
