Dependence of Coseismic Landslide Distribution Patterns on Fault Movement
Applied SciencesFaults are the primary drivers of earthquakes and exert a strong control on rupture mechanisms, earthquake magnitude, and the spatial distribution of coseismic landslides (CLs).

The Sustainability of Free‐Surface‐Induced Supershear Rupture on Strike‐Slip Faults
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 While prior numerical simulations indicate that the Earth's free surface can induce supershear propagation on strike‐slip faults, copious observations of strike‐slip earthquakes have produced only a few instances of such supershear rupture.

Persistent topographic development along a strike-slip fault system: The Mount McKinley restraining bend [PDF]
, 2014 The Denali Fault is a major strike-slip fault extending from British Colombia, into western Alaska. Mount McKinley, at 6,114 m, is the highest peak in North America and is located to the south of a bend in the Denali Fault (Fig.1).

The July 27, 1976 Tangshan, China earthquake—A complex sequence of intraplate events [PDF]
, 1979 The Tangshan earthquake (M_s = 7.7), of July 27, 1976 and its principal aftershock (M_s = 7.2), which occurred 15 hr following the main event, resulted in the loss of life of over 650,000 persons in northeast China. This is the second greatest earthquake
