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 ...

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.

Rotational Strike-Slip Faults, Llandeilo, Wales
Geological Magazine, 1965AbstractA number of rotational strike-slip faults in the Ludlovian-Downtonian deposits of the Llandeilo region, Carmarthenshire, are described.

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 ...
