Paleostress Analysis in Brittle Structures of the Camaquã Copper Mines

Revista Brasileira de Geociências, 2012
Fault planes with striae and kinematic indicators from the Camaqua Copper Mines, Cacapava do Sul (Brazil), were analyzed through graphical methods and structural geology software in order to determine the stress-field orientation for the numerous tectonic events that affected the region, and in this way determine the paleostress fields.

Mesozoic/cenozoic strike-slip tectonics in the catarinense shield and its correlation with structures associated with the continental rift in southeastern Brazil

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
Structural studies carried out on mesoscopic scale of planar and linear brittle structures from quarries in Precambrian rocks of the central-southern portion of the Catarinense Shield led to a characterization of four main fault directions: NE-SW, NW-SE ...

Geological characteristics of the boundary between Bolkardağı-Bozkır Units and the Ulukışla Basin and the structural evolution of the region, Central Taurides, Turkey

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021
The character of the boundary between the tectonic units in the Central Taurides and the Ulukışla Basin is controversial. The contact has been accepted as discordant or tectonic contact by different researchers.

A new approach for paleostress analysis from kink bands: application of fault-slip methods [PDF]

, 1999
Optimal and nonoptimal methods of fault-slip analysis are tested on the simple type of kink bands by treating these structures as if they were striated faults.

Reactivation of minor faults in a blind active fault area: A case study of the aftershock area of the 2000 Western Tottori Earthquake, Japan

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2021
The 2000 Western Tottori Earthquake (Mw 6.6, Mjma 7.3) in Japan occurred in an area where no active faults are known to exist. We examined the distribution, occurrence, paleostress field, and K–Ar ages of minor faults in the aftershock region of this ...

From Oblique Thrust to Strike-Slip Fault: Progressive Stages of an Accretionary Wedge Development [PDF]

Lithosphere
Accretionary wedges of orogenic belts develop differently based on the direction of thrusting, which can be perpendicular to oblique to the belt. In the case of oblique thrusting, stress partitioning occurs, which dissects the accretionary wedge, changes
