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 ...

A stochastic model for strike-slip faulting
Journal of the International Association for Mathematical Geology, 1980The frequency of length of strike-slip faults in continental crust follows a lognormal probability distribution, and a nonlinear positive correlation exists between length and offset. These results appear to be scale-independent. An explanation of the observations is presented in terms of a stochastic model which treats the occurrence of faulting as a ...

Mechanics of strike-slip faulting with friction
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1968Strike-slip is analyzed for long, shallow surface faults of arbitrary dip on which motion is opposed by a frictional shear stress, which is assumed to increase linearly with depth. Static elastic analysis is used to find surface displacements and strains and to estimate the change in elastic potential energy, the frictional dissipation, and the ...

Some theoretical implications of strike-slip faulting
2011When a fault occurs in the earth's crust, the ground in its vicinity becomes deformed. This thesis uses the theory of dislocations, as developed by J. A. Steketee, to examine the nature of this deformation for a variety of strike-slip fault models. The theory is developed for calculating the displacement field and stress changes expected at any point ...
