Anatomy of Strike Slip Fault Tsunami-genesis [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2021 Tsunami generation from earthquake induced seafloor deformations has long been recognized as a major hazard to coastal areas. Strike-slip faulting has generally been believed as insufficient for triggering large tsunamis, except through the generation of submarine landslides.

Magma storage in a strike-slip caldera [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractSilicic calderas form during explosive volcanic eruptions when magma withdrawal triggers collapse along bounding faults. The nature of specific interactions between magmatism and tectonism in caldera-forming systems is, however, unclear. Regional stress patterns may control the location and geometry of magma reservoirs, which in turn may ...

Geology, 2021 Strike-slip faults are classically associated with pull-apart basins where continental crust is thinned between two laterally offset fault segments. Here we propose a subsidence mechanism to explain the formation of a new type of basin where no substantial segment offset or syn-strike-slip thinning is observed.

Intraplate strike-slip deformation belts [PDF]
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2003 Abstract Intraplate strike-slip deformation belts are typically steeply-dipping structures that develop in both oceanic and continental lithosphere where they form some of the largest and most spectacular discontinuities found on Earth. In both modern and ancient continental settings, intraplate strike slip deformation belts are of major ...

Journal of Structural Geology, 1986 Abstract Strike-slip fault systems often contain zones of steep imbricate faults geometrically similar to imbricate fans and duplexes in dip-slip, thrust and normal, fault systems. They are evident in map view rather than in vertical sections. Examples of duplexes are cited from both active and ancient systems and from theoretical and physical models.

Equal spacing of strike-slip faults [PDF]
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1976 Summary Strike-slip fault systems on continents frequently occur in groups of several roughly equally-spaced faults. In this article these systems are simulated by a model. A physical mechanism is then presented, which appears to explain the phenomena shown by the model both qualitatively and to a certain extent quantitatively.

Journal of Structural Geology, 1995 Areas of reorientated bedding at contractional oversteps between strike-slip faults are here called strike-slip relay ramps. Metre-scale examples are described from the Jurassic sediments at East Quantoxhead, Somerset U.K. Larger strike-slip relay ramps occur in the Rio de Peixe Basin, NE Brazil, along the Newport-Inglewood Trend, California, and in ...

Strike-slip tectonics during rift linkage [PDF]
Geology, 2018 The kinematics of rift segment linkage in magmatic rifts remain debated. Strain patterns from Afar provide tests of current models of how segmented rifts grow in areas of incipient oceanic spreading. Here, we present a combined analysis of seismicity, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), and GPS–derived strain rate maps to reveal that the ...

Volcano instability induced by strike-slip faulting
Bulletin of Volcanology, 2000 Analogue sand cone experiments were conducted to study instability generated on volcanic cones by basal strike-slip movement. The results of the analogue models demonstrate that edifice instability may be generated when strike-slip faults underlying a volcano move as a result of tectonic adjustment.

Finite source properties of large strike-slip earthquakes
Geophysical Journal International, 2023 SUMMARY Earthquake ruptures are complex physical processes that may vary with the structure and tectonics of the region in which they occur. Characterizing the factors controlling this variability would provide fundamental constraints on the physics of earthquakes and faults.
