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.

Energies, 2022 The largest Precambrian gasfield in China has been found in the central Sichuan Basin. It has been assumed as an Ediacaran (Sinian) mound–shoal, microfacies-controlled, dolomite reservoir.

Triggered seismicity associated with the 1990 Nicoya, Costa Rica, M-w=7.0 earthquake [PDF]
, 2009 The 25 March 1990 (M-w = 7.0) subduction megathrust earthquake that occurred offshore the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, produced a large number of aftershocks on the subduction plate interface as expected and preceded an unusual sequence of earthquakes ...

Compression at Strike‐Slip Fault Is a Favorable Condition for Subduction Initiation
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The recent statistics suggests that over 60% of active Cenozoic subduction initiation (SI) cases are related to the strike‐slip fault. A number of previous studies have shown that the lithospheric weak zone is a necessary condition for the SI.

Superficial simplicity of the 2010 El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake of Baja California in Mexico [PDF]
, 2010 The geometry of faults is usually thought to be more complicated at the surface than at depth and to control the initiation, propagation and arrest of seismic ruptures.

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 ...

Is the Jurassic (Yanshanian) intraplate tectonics of North China due to westward indentation of the North China block? [PDF]
, 2012 International audienceThe northern mountains of Beijing are the type locality of the Mesozoic Yanshanian orogen. Our structural study emphasizes the importance of dextral strike-slip for the formation of this intracontinental belt.
