Tectonic stresses in the lithosphere

Tectonics, 1983
Various types of observables (earthquake focal mechanisms, in situ measurements and geological deformations) give information about the large scale lithospheric stress field. The latter has often been explained by postulating appropriate forces acting at the edges and beneath the plates. This approach ignores the role of mass heterogeneities within the

Tectonic stress in the plates

Reviews of Geophysics, 1979
The state of stress in the lithosphere provides strong constraints on the forces acting on the plates. The directions of principal stresses in the plates as indicated by midplate earthquake mechanisms, in situ stress measurements, and stress‐sensitive geological features are used to test plate tectonic driving force models, under the premises that ...

Apparent stress and stress drop for intraplate earthquakes and tectonic stress in the plates

pure and applied geophysics, 1977
The magnitude of shear stress in the lithosphere is bounded from below by the apparent stress and stress drop during intraplate earthquakes. Apparent stresses and stress drops for a number of mid-plate earthquakes are calculated from the earthquake magnitude, SH wave amplitude spectra, and estimates of the length of the fault zone.

Tectonic Stresses in France

1980
A flat jack method has been used to determine the principal stress axes in the Jurassic limestone of the basin of Paris and in neighbouring regions. The results have been compared with a few overcoring measurements in boreholes of a few meters.
