Physics-Based Scenario of Earthquake Cycles on the Ventura Thrust System, California: The Effect of Variable Friction and Fault Geometry

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2019
The Ventura Thrust system in California is capable of producing large magnitude earthquakes. Geological studies suggest that the fault geometry is complex, composed of multiple segments at different dips: thrust ramps dipping 30°–50° linked with bed ...

Multicycle Dynamics of the Aksay Bend Along the Altyn Tagh Fault in Northwest China: 2. The Realistically Complex Fault Geometry

Tectonics, 2019
We study rupture behavior of the Aksay bend along the Altyn Tagh fault in northwest China over multiple earthquake cycles. A finite element method is used to numerically simulate spontaneous rupture during a coseismic process, and a viscoelastic model is

Geometry and kinematics of the Baza Fault (central Betic Cordillera, South Spain): insights into its seismic potential

Geologica Acta, 2020
The geometry and kinematics of active faults have a significant impact on their seismic potential. In this work, a structural characterization of the active Baza Fault (central Betic Cordillera, southern Spain) combining surface and subsurface data is ...

Structurally Controlled Landscape Evolution in Kula Badlands, Western Turkey

Geosciences, 2022
Badlands are extensively eroded landscapes consisting of weakly consolidated deposits within highly dense drainage systems. Their controlling and shaping factors can differ in relation to various internal and external conditions and processes that are ...

Development of an inversion method to extract information on fault geometry from teleseismic data

Geophysical Journal International, 2018
Teleseismic waveforms contain information on fault slip evolution during an earthquake, as well as on the fault geometry. A linear finite-fault inversion method is a tool for solving the slip-rate function distribution under an assumption of fault ...

Injection-induced fault slip and associated seismicity in the lab: Insights from source mechanisms, local stress states and fault geometry

Earth and Planetary Science Letters
Probing source mechanisms of natural and induced earthquakes is a powerful tool to unveil associated rupture kinematics. The source processes of failure and slip instability driven by stress loading are affected by fault geometry, but the source ruptures

The influence of fault geometry on small strike-slip fault mechanics [PDF]

Journal of Structural Geology, 2015
Abstract Meter-scale subvertical strike-slip fault traces in the central Californian Sierra Nevada exhibit geometric complexities that significantly contribute to their mechanical behavior. Sections of faults that opened at depth channelized fluid flow, as evidenced by hydrothermal mineral infillings and alteration haloes.

Insights on the dip of fault zones in Southern California from modeling of seismicity with anisotropic point processes

Seismica
Accurate models of fault zone geometry are important for scientific and hazard applications. While seismicity can provide high-resolution point measurements of fault geometry, extrapolating these measurements to volumes may involve making strong ...

A New Perspective on Fault Geometry and Slip Distribution of the 2009 Dachaidan Mw 6.3 Earthquake from InSAR Observations

Sensors, 2015
On 28 August 2009, the northern margin of the Qaidam basin in the Tibet Plateau was ruptured by an Mw 6.3 earthquake. This study utilizes the Envisat ASAR images from descending Track 319 and ascending Track 455 for capturing the coseismic deformation ...
