Active Strike-Slip Faulting and Systematic Deflection of Drainage Systems along the Altyn Tagh Fault, Northern Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2021
Systematic deflection of drainage systems along strike-slip faults is the combination of repeated faulting slipping and continuous headward erosion accumulated on the stream channels.

Focal mechanism variations reveal mechanical controls on segmentation at oceanic transform faults [PDF]

Nature Communications
Oceanic transform faults (OTFs) exhibit concurrent slip behaviors, with creep and characteristic earthquakes on localized patches. At the Gofar transform fault on the East Pacific Rise, magnitude 5.5+ earthquakes are bounded by creeping segments that act

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).

Tsunami Induced by the Strike‐Slip Fault of the 2018 Palu Earthquake (Mw = 7.5), Sulawesi Island, Indonesia

Earth and Space Science, 2021
An unusual devastating tsunami occurred on September 28, 2018 after a strike‐slip faulting earthquake in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The induced tsunami struck Palu city with ∼4‐m flow depth.

Jurassic provenances and their transition mechanism of the Delingha Sag in the eastern segment of northern margin of the Qaidam Basin, North Tibet

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
The Delingha Sag that witnessed the Indosinian, Yanshanian and Himalayan orogenies since the Mesozoic, is a potential petroliferous Meso-Cenozoic sag located in the eastern segment of the northern margin of the Qaidam Basin in North Tibet.

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
