Fissure Ridges: A Reappraisal of Faulting and Travertine Deposition (Travitonics)
Geosciences, 2021 The mechanical discontinuities in the upper crust (i.e., faults and related fractures) lead to the uprising of geothermal fluids to the Earth’s surface. If fluids are enriched in Ca2+ and HCO3-, masses of CaCO3 (i.e., travertine deposits) can form mainly

Geophysical characteristics of the Terror Rift, West Antarctica
Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2021 In this paper, we investigated the Terror Rift where the last stage of Cenozoic rifting in the West Antarctic Rift System (WARS) took place. The International published and domestic sampled during CHARE seismic reflection profiles are utilized. Combining

Deep ductile shear localization facilitates near-orthogonal strike-slip faulting in a thin brittle lithosphere [PDF]
, 2020 Some active fault systems comprise near-orthogonal conjugate strike-slip faults, as highlighted by the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake sequences.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Thrust faults, and thrust wedges, are an important part of the surface morphology and structure of many contractional mountain belts. Analogue models of thrust wedges typically provide a map- and/or side-view of their evolution but give limited insight ...

Fault rock heterogeneity can produce fault weakness and reduce fault stability [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Geological heterogeneity is abundant in crustal fault zones; however, its role in controlling the mechanical behaviour of faults is poorly constrained. Here, we present laboratory friction experiments on laterally heterogeneous faults, with patches of strong, rate-weakening quartz gouge and weak, rate-strengthening clay gouge. The experiments show that

Neogene faulting and volcanism in the Victoria Land Basin of the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2022 The Neogene Terror Rift in the Antarctic Victoria Land Basin (VLB) of the Ross Sea, Antarctica, is composed of the Discovery Graben and the Lee Arch. Many Neogene volcanoes are aligned in the north-south direction in the southern VLB, belonging to the ...

Controls on Gas Emission Distribution on the Continental Slope of the Western Black Sea
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The continental slopes of the Black Sea show abundant manifestations of gas seepage in water depth of <720 m, but underlying controls are still not fully understood.

Transform fault earthquakes in the North Atlantic: Source mechanisms and depth of faulting [PDF]
, 1988 The centroid depths and source mechanisms of 12 large earthquakes on transform faults of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge were determined from an inversion of long-period body waveforms.

Regularities of crustal faulting and tectonophysical indicators of fault metastability
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018 The problem of forecasting seismic hazards is discussed. The stress state data characterizing various aspects of brittle failure are reviewed in detail. It is shown that the most convenient tool for analyzing such data is the Mohr stress diagram and the ...
