Geometry, kinematics and rates of deformation in a normal fault segment boundary, central Greece [PDF]

, 2004
The geometry, kinematics and rates of deformation within a fault segment boundary between the ends of two major active normal fault segments have been investigated through examination of a faulted 126 ka marine terrace.

Late Mesozoic strike-slip faulting in Tasmania [PDF]

Australian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2015
Jurassic dolerite is well exposed in fresh cuttings and quarries throughout Tasmania, and fault striations were found in a high proportion of these exposures in the south and west of the state. These fault striation provide a record of late Mesozoic faulting dominated by dextral west-northwest–east-southeast-striking faults and sinistral north–south ...

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 ...

Hydrothermal Degassing Through the Karakoram Fault, Western Tibet: Insights Into Active Deformation Driven by Continental Strike‐Slip Faulting

Geophysical Research Letters
The Karakoram fault (KKF) is an important strike‐slip boundary for accommodating deformation following the India‐Asia collision. However, whether the deformation is confined to the crust or whether it extends into the mantle remains highly debated. Here,

Strike-slip faulting, wrinkle ridges, and time variable stress states in the Coprates Region of Mars [PDF]

The existence of strike-slip faults was recently documented in two locations on Mars. Two clear examples are reviewed located southeast of Valles Marineris and preliminary evidence is presented for more widespread strike-slip deformation elsewhere in ...

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 ...

Physiographic Features of Faulting in Southern California [PDF]

, 1954
The abundance and variety of faults in southern California provide good opportunity for study of landforms created directly by faulting or indirectly by other processes acting upon faulted materials. High-angle gravity faults, high- and low-angle thrusts,

Geologic context of geodetic data across a Basin and Range normal fault, Crescent Valley, Nevada [PDF]

, 2004
Geodetic strain and late Quaternary faulting in the Basin and Range province is distributed over a region much wider than historic seismicity, which is localized near the margins of the province.

The present-day stress field in Egypt

Annals of Geophysics, 2001
The present-day stress field has been investigated by the analysis of the directions of maximum horizontal stress (ó 1 ) inferred from earthquake focal mechanisms and borehole breakouts in Egypt.

Seismicity relocation and fault structure near the Leech River Fault Zone, southern Vancouver Island [PDF]

, 2018
Relatively low rates of seismicity and fault loading have made it challenging to correlate microseismicity to mapped surface faults on the forearc of southern Vancouver Island.
