Secondary Fault Activity of the North Anatolian Fault near Avcilar, Southwest of Istanbul: Evidence from SAR Interferometry Observations [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 Strike-slip faults may be traced along thousands of kilometers, e.g., the San Andreas Fault (USA) or the North Anatolian Fault (Turkey). A closer look at such continental-scale strike faults reveals localized complexities in fault geometry, associated ...

Anatomy of Strike Slip Fault Tsunami-genesis [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2021 Tsunami generation from earthquake induced seafloor deformations has long been recognized as a major hazard to coastal areas. Strike-slip faulting has generally been believed as insufficient for triggering large tsunamis, except through the generation of submarine landslides.

Variation of b-Value of Normal, Reverse and Strike-Slip Faulting Earthquakes with Focal Depth
Iraqi Geological Journal, 2023 A crucial factor in evaluating seismic activity, seismotectonics, and seismic hazard assessment is the distribution of earthquake sizes (b-value).

TSUNAMIS FROM STRIKE-SLIP AND NORMAL EARTHQUAKES AND ITS RELATION WITH THE PRODUCT OF DOMINANT PERIOD AND DURATION OF MORE THAN 50 SECONDS OF EARTHQUAKE P-WAVE [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2021 It is widely known that earthquakes with strike-slip or normal-faulting crustal displacements have generated destructive tsunamis around the world. Many researchers have proposed that the main cause of such events was due to factors not associated with ...

Three-dimensional approach to understanding the relationship between the Plio–Quaternary stress field and tectonic inversion in the Triassic Cuyo Basin, Argentina [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2015 The Cacheuta sub-basin of the Triassic Cuyo Basin is an example of rift basin inversion contemporaneous to the advance of the Andean thrust front, during the Plio–Quaternary. This basin is one of the most important sedimentary basins in

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.

Geomorphic signal of active faulting at the northern edge of Lut Block. Insights on the kinematic scenario of Central Iran [PDF]
, 2016 Recent works documented Neogene to Quaternary dextral strike-slip tectonics along the Kuh-e-Sarhangi and Kuh-e-Faghan intraplate strike-slip faults at the northern edge of the Lut Block of Central Iran, previously thought to be dominated by sinistral ...
