Surface slip variability on strike‐slip faults
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2022AbstractSlip in strike‐slip earthquakes is spatially variable along a fault, but the degree to which variability over short length scales is inherent to the rupture process or introduced by interpretation and measurement has not been quantified. In this study, we examine the effects of interpretation error on apparent short‐wavelength variability in ...

A well exposed outcrop of Upper Carboniferous greywackes and slates at Crackington Haven, north Cornwall, shows several episodes of strike-slip faulting. Exposure-scale structures display may features typical of strike-slip fault systems including: splay faults, wing cracks, jogs, fault bends, fault branches, λ faults, rotated blocks, together with ...

Off-fault Deformation Associated with Strike-slip Faults
Environmental and Engineering Geoscience, 2018AbstractHabitable buildings can be protected from surface fault rupture by establishing structure “setback zones” similar in purpose to legally mandated zones in California and Utah. But post-earthquake surveys of offset and warped linear cultural features, believed to have been straight prior to the event, demonstrate that potentially damaging ...

Active strike-slip faulting in El Salvador, Central America
Geology, 2005Several major earthquakes have affected El Salvador, Central America, during the Past 100 yr as a consequence of oblique subduction of the Cocos plate under the Caribbean plate, which is partitioned between trench-orthogonal compression and strike-slip defor- mation parallel to the volcanic arc.

Stress orientation responsible for formation of strike slip fault is described along with rheological controls on development of the fault. Conjugate strike slip faults are discussed with special reference to necessity of rotation of faults with progressive deformation.

Dating of the Karakorum Strike‐slip Fault
Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, 2001AbstractThis paper mainly discusses the timing of the Karakorum strike‐slip fault, and gives a brief introduction of its structures, offset, and deformational style. This fault strikes NNW‐SSE. Asymmetrical folds, stretching lineation, S‐C fabrics, feldspar and quartz s̀‐porphyroclasts, domino structure, shear cleavages and faults in the fault zone are

Sidewall ripouts in strike-slip faults
Journal of Structural Geology, 1989Abstract Distinctive splay fault configurations in wallrocks associated with pseudotachylyte-bearing strike-slip fault structures at three different localities are recognized as ‘sidewall ripouts’. Sidewall ripout structures occur as asymmetric, doubly-tapered, fault-bounded lenses or slabs adjacent to a dominant planar fault surface.

Sinuosity of strike-slip fault traces
Geology, 1975A mechanical basis for the occurrence of curvature or sinuosity on strike-slip faults is postulated from finite-element simulation of an earthquake sequence on the Parkfield, California, segment of the San Andreas fault. Using discontinuity fields from measured displacements associated with the M ≅ 5.3 earthquakes of June 1966, motions along 16 km of ...

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 ...
