Analysis of fault geometry and displacement patterns

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1996
Abstract Interpretation of the subsurface is still often performed on suites of vertical seismic sections with structures being correlated from line to line to build up a map view at a particular horizon. The advent of 3D seismic surveys and routine use of interpretation software has made it common to produce ‘horizon-based’ interpretations ...

Normal fault geometry and fault reactivation in tectonic inversion experiments

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1991
Abstract Scaled physical models of extensional structures associated with fault reactivation were achieved in sand by superimposing extensional tectonics on thrust faults created during prior episodes of horizontal shortening. The extension produced three distinct responses: selective reactivation of pre-existing thrusts, favouring the ...

Fault geometry and its relationship with seismicity in the Xianshuihe fault zone

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, 1990
Abstract The Xianshuihe fault zone is an active fault zone noticeable by its rather high seismicity in West China. The present study will discuss segmentation of fault geometry and seismicity, the pattern of earthquake distribution and migration, physical conditions for seismogenesis, the relationship between fault length and earthquake magnitude as ...

Fault geometry and earthquakes in continental interiors

Tectonophysics, 1999
Abstract Although large earthquakes in continental interiors are much less frequent than those along plate boundaries, they have been responsible for a disproportionate amount of destruction. I present a testable model for strain accumulation and seismicity in the upper crust of continental interiors.

E2F: Extract Fault Geometry from Earthquake Catalogs

Seismological Research Letters
Abstract Fault geometries dictate the spatiotemporal distribution of seismicity and govern earthquake propagation, serving as the foundation for seismic hazard assessment. Recent advances in seismological monitoring have significantly lowered the detection threshold of local-scale earthquakes, providing an opportunity to delineate ...

Additional note on the geometry of faults

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1910
In a recent paper simple projective methods were given for determining the displacement of a stratum at a fault.[2][1] It was pointed out that any displacement of a stratum could be represented by a linear displacement and a simple rotation. The rotation was determined by rotating the stratum first around a horizontal axis until it was horizontal, and ...
