DEFORMATION AND BASIN FORMATION ALONG STRIKE-SLIP FAULTS
, 1985 Significant advances during the decade 1975 to 1985 in understanding the geology of basins along strike-slip faults include the following: (1) paleomagnetic and other evidence for very large magnitude strike slip in some orogenic belts; (2) abundant paleo-magnetic evidence for the pervasive rotation of blocks about vertical axes within broad ...

Millennial slip rate of the Longitudinal Valley fault from river terraces: Implications for convergence across the active suture of eastern Taiwan [PDF]
, 2006 The Longitudinal Valley fault is a key element in the active tectonics of Taiwan. It is the principal structure accommodating convergence across one of the two active sutures of the Taiwan orogeny.

Influence of lateral heterogeneities on strike-slip fault behaviour: insights from analogue models [PDF]
Solid EarthThis study investigates how lithological changes can affect the strike-slip fault propagation patterns using analogue models. Strike-slip fault zones are long structures that may cut across pre-existing tectonic or lithological steep boundaries.

Mechanisms of the aftershocks of the Kern County, California, earthquake of 1952 [PDF]
, 1958 Using directions of first motion of longitudinal waves recorded at near-by stations, the orientation of fault traces and the nature of fault motions have been deduced for fifty-seven earthquakes of the Kern County aftershock series. Unlike the main shock,

The Burst-Like Behavior of Aseismic Slip on a Rough Fault: The Creeping Section of the Haiyuan Fault, China [PDF]
, 2014 Recent observations suggesting the influence of creep on earthquakes nucleation and arrest are strong incentives to investigate the physical mechanisms controlling how active faults slip. We focus here on deriving generic characteristics of shallow creep

The width of fault zones in a brittle-viscous lithosphere: Strike-slip faults [PDF]
A fault zone in an ideal brittle material overlying a very weak substrate could, in principle, consist of a single slip surface. Real fault zones have a finite width consisting of a number of nearly parallel slip surfaces on which deformation is ...

South Virgin-White Hills detachment fault system of SE Nevada and NW Arizona: Applying apatite fission track thermochronology to constrain the tectonic evolution of a major continental detachment fault [PDF]
, 2009 The South Virgin-White Hills detachment (SVWHD) in the central Basin and Range province with an along-strike extent of similar to 60 km is a major continental detachment fault system.
