Volcano instability induced by strike-slip faulting

open access: yesBulletin of Volcanology, 2000
Analogue sand cone experiments were conducted to study instability generated on volcanic cones by basal strike-slip movement. The results of the analogue models demonstrate that edifice instability may be generated when strike-slip faults underlying a volcano move as a result of tectonic adjustment.

Geodetic Constraints on the 2014 M 6.0 South Napa Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
On 24 August 2014, the M 6.0 South Napa earthquake shook much of the San Francisco Bay area, leading to significant damage in the Napa Valley. The earthquake occurred in the vicinity of the West Napa fault (122.313° W, 38.22° N, 11.3 km), a mapped ...

Strike-slip superimposed Qaidam Basin and its control on oil and gas accumulation, NW China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2015
Based on detailed field survey in the western Qaidam Basin, combined with petroleum exploration practices in recent years, this study suggests that the Qaidam Basin is a strike-slip superimposed basin jointly controlled by the left-lateral strike-slip ...

Deformation patterns and hydrocarbon potential related to intracratonic strike-slip fault systems in the east of Central Uplift Belt in the Tarim Basin

open access: yesEnergy Geoscience, 2022
Strike-slip faults, proven to be closely linked to hydrocarbon migration and accumulation, are widespread in the Tarim Basin Craton. Deformation patterns in the eastern part of the Central Uplift Belt of the Tarim Basin are analyzed in detail to ...
