Uniformed combatants and others who take up arms pose a threat may be liable to be

Damage zones around strike-slip fault systems and strike-slip fault evolution, Crackington Haven, southwest England

Geosciences Journal, 2000
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 ...

Fault Displacement Hazard for Strike-Slip Faults

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2011
In this paper we present a methodology, data, and regression equations for calculating the fault rupture hazard at sites near steeply dipping, strike-slip faults. We collected and digitized on-fault and off-fault displacement data for 9 global strike- slip earthquakes ranging from moment magnitude M 6.5 to M 7.6 and supplemented these with ...
