Strike-slip tsunamis

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2021
An article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences explored the potential for strike-slip earthquakes to generate large tsunamis in narrow or shallow bays.

Strike‐slip basins, Part 2

The Leading Edge, 1999
The general aspects of strike‐slip basins and their classification were reviewed in Part 1 of this two‐part series. Part 2 provides examples of each type. However, strike‐slip basins can be extraordinarily complex in their origin and history. Most long‐lived strike‐slip basins are partly to wholly destroyed eventually by subsequent uplift, deformation,

Strike-slip faults

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

Strike‐slip basins: Part 1

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, 2009
Fault 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, 1995
We 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.
