Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1988
The importance of strike-slip faulting was recognized near the turn of the century, chiefly from investigations of surficial offsets associated with major earthquakes in New Zealand, Japan, and California. Extrapolation from observed horizontal displacements during single earthquakes to more abstract concepts of long-term, slow accumulation of hundreds

The Leading Edge, 1999
Various types of sedimentary basins that contain a great variety of sedimentary successions and structural attributes form along strike‐slip faults. These basins have commonly been called “pull‐apart basins.” However, we believe that the term “strike‐slip basin” is more suitable because “pull‐apart basins” are only one of many varieties that may ...

Segmentation along Strike-Slip Faults Revisited
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2009Fault segmentation and fault steps and their evolution are relevant to the dynamics and size of earthquake ruptures, the distribution of fault damage zones and the capacity of fault seal. Furthermore, segment interactions and coalescence are the fundamental processes for fault growth.

Experimental models of strike-slip tectonics
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1995We present a variety of models for strike-slip tectonics which represent a useful database for seismic interpreters and geologists. In pure strike-slip, the Riedel shear geometry is shown to depend on the initial stress state, interference of parallel basement faults and horizontal layering of the overburden.

Stress orientation responsible for formation of strike slip fault is described along with rheological controls on development of the fault. Conjugate strike slip faults are discussed with special reference to necessity of rotation of faults with progressive deformation.

Radiation from a strike-slip fault
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1959abstract Huygens' principle for elastodynamics has been applied to the problem of the radiation resulting from the introduction of a tear fault of finite length into an otherwise homogeneous medium. The fault has the following properties: (1) it is a surface across which the normal stresses vanish; (2) it has a rectangular shape with one

Geosciences Journal, 2000
A well exposed outcrop of Upper Carboniferous greywackes and slates at Crackington Haven, north Cornwall, shows several episodes of strike-slip faulting. Exposure-scale structures display may features typical of strike-slip fault systems including: splay faults, wing cracks, jogs, fault bends, fault branches, λ faults, rotated blocks, together with ...

Sinuosity of strike-slip fault traces
Geology, 1975A mechanical basis for the occurrence of curvature or sinuosity on strike-slip faults is postulated from finite-element simulation of an earthquake sequence on the Parkfield, California, segment of the San Andreas fault. Using discontinuity fields from measured displacements associated with the M ≅ 5.3 earthquakes of June 1966, motions along 16 km of ...
