Sidewall ripouts in strike-slip faults
Journal of Structural Geology, 1989Abstract Distinctive splay fault configurations in wallrocks associated with pseudotachylyte-bearing strike-slip fault structures at three different localities are recognized as ‘sidewall ripouts’. Sidewall ripout structures occur as asymmetric, doubly-tapered, fault-bounded lenses or slabs adjacent to a dominant planar fault surface.

Volcanism in Reverse and Strike-Slip Fault Settings
2009Traditionally volcanism is thought to require an extensional state of stress in the crust. This review examines recent relevant data demonstrating that volcanism occurs also in compressional tectonic settings associated with reverse and strike-slip faulting.

Strike-Slip Faults of Northern Venezuela
AAPG Bulletin, 1956The Caribbean Mountains of northern Venezuela, and the area covered by the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Venezuela have been displaced to the east, relative to the land on the south, along a system of major strike-slip faults. From west to east this right-lateral fracture system consists of the following big faults: the Ocoa fault in the northern ...

Strike-slip and oblique-slip regimes
1988In the early days of the plate tectonic theory, attention was concentrated on the tectonic effects of destructive and constructive plate boundaries. However, the detailed study of oceanic transform faults and of major continental transform faults, particularly the San Andreas fault system, has led to the recognition that strike-slip or transform ...

Strike-Slip Terrains and Transform Margins
Many of the world's continents are bounded or traversed by vast fault networks that move laterally, like the well-known San Andreas Fault. As well as being major tectonic features of the Earth's surface, these strike-slip regimes are vitally important to the world's natural resources – petroleum, water, and geothermal energy.Michal Nemčok +3 more
