Source processes of large earthquakes along the Xianshuihe fault in southwestern China [PDF]

, 1983
The Xianshuihe fault is one of the most active faults in southwestern China. Recently, three large earthquakes occurred along it in 1967 (M_s = 6.1), 1973 (M_s = 7.5), and 1981 (M_s = 6.8).

Miocene Alkaline Basaltic Magmatism in Northeastern Tibetan Plateau: Implications for Mantle Evolution and Plateau Outward Growth

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The widespread Cenozoic alkaline magmatism within and around the Tibetan Plateau offers a prime opportunity to probe the nature of the mantle at the depths where basalt magmas originate.

Dependence of Coseismic Landslide Distribution Patterns on Fault Movement

Applied Sciences
Faults are the primary drivers of earthquakes and exert a strong control on rupture mechanisms, earthquake magnitude, and the spatial distribution of coseismic landslides (CLs).

MEVTV Workshop on Tectonic Features on Mars [PDF]

The state of knowledge of tectonic features on Mars was determined and kinematic and mechanical models were assessed for their origin. Three sessions were held: wrinkle ridges and compressional structure; strike-slip faults; and extensional structures ...

Strike-slip fault system and its control on ediacaran hydrocarbon system in central Sichuan Basin: insights from petrology, U-Pb dating and seismic interpretation

Frontiers in Earth Science
Strike-slip faults are closely related to the enrichment of hydrocarbon resources, with a series of large oil and gas fields associated with strike-slip faults discovered in regions such as the Ordos Basin in China and the West Siberian Basin.

An unexplained tsunami: Was there megathrust slip during the 2020 Mw7.6 Sand Point, Alaska, earthquake?

Seismica
On October 19, 2020, the Mw7.6 Sand Point earthquake struck south of the Shumagin Islands in Alaska. Moment tensors indicate the earthquake was primarily strike-slip, yet the event produced an enigmatic tsunami that was larger and more widespread than ...

Role of tectonic stress in seepage evolution along the gas hydrate‐charged Vestnesa Ridge, Fram Strait [PDF]

, 2015
Methane expulsion from the world ocean floor is a broadly observed phenomenon known to be episodic. Yet the processes that modulate seepage remain elusive.
