New active faults on Eurasian-Arabian collision zone: Tectonic activity of Özyurt and Gülsünler faults (Eastern Anatolian Plateau, Van-Turkey) [PDF]

Geologica Acta, 2017
The Eastern Anatolian Plateau emerges from the continental collision between Arabian and Eurasian plates where intense seismicity related to the ongoing convergence characterizes the southern part of the plateau.

Structural characteristics and implications on oil/gas accumulation in north segment of the Longmenshan piedmont, northwestern Sichuan Basin, SW China

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2022
By integrating surface geology, seismic data, resistivity sections, and drilling data, the structural deformation characteristics of the frontier fault of thrust nappes were delineated in detail.

Deformation asymmetry in foreland thrust belts and the kinematic direction of the related thrust faults

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2022
The thrust directions in foreland thrust belts have not been explained on theory. Based on Coulomb fracture criterion and deformation asymmetry in foreland thrust belt, the origins of fore-thrust and back-thrust faults are analyzed in this paper.

Deformation structural style of the rioni foreland fold-and-thrust belt, western greater caucasus: Insight from the balanced cross-section

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Rioni foreland fold-and-thrust belt is part of the Greater Caucasus pro-wedge and is one of the most important examples of the collision-driven far-field deformation of the Arabia-Eurasia convergence zone.

Discrete Element Modelling of Sedimentation and Tectonics: Implications for the Growth of Thrust Faults and Thrust Wedges in Space and Time, and the Interpretation of Syn-Tectonic (Growth) Strata

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Thrust faults, and thrust wedges, are an important part of the surface morphology and structure of many contractional mountain belts. Analogue models of thrust wedges typically provide a map- and/or side-view of their evolution but give limited insight ...

The Role of Rheology and Fault Geometry on Fault Reactivation: A Case-Study from the Zsámbék-Mány Basin, Central Hungary

Geosciences, 2022
In this study, we investigated the structural evolution of the Vértessomló (VT) Thrust and the Környe-Zsámbék (KZ) Fault, which are located in the Transdanubian Range in the center of the Miocene Pannonian back-arc basin.

Recent Uplift Characteristics of the Southeast Tibetan Plateau, an Analysis Based on Fluvial Indices

Remote Sensing, 2023
The southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) is well known for its large strike–slip faults with high slip rates and a high potential for seismic hazards. However, little is known about its thrust faults and associated seismic hazards, even though they can ...

Formation process of thrust faults in coal measures and its influence on mining disaster

Meitan xuebao, 2023
In order to better understand the formation of thrust fault in coal measures and how it makes a difference on mining-induced disasters, a simulation system for the formation process of a new type of thrust fault in coal measures has been improved, which ...

Research on Modeling and Fault-Tolerant Control of Distributed Electric Propulsion Aircraft

Drones, 2022
Distributed electric propulsion (DEP) aircrafts have high propulsion efficiency and low fuel consumption, which is very promising for propulsion. The redundant thrusters of DEP aircrafts increase the risk of fault in the propulsion system, so it is ...

Imaging the tectonic framework of the 24 August 2016, Amatrice (central Italy) earthquake sequence: new roles for old players?

Annals of Geophysics, 2016
We reconstruct the tectonic framework of the 24 August 2016, Amatrice earthquake. At least three main faults, including an older thrust fault (Sibillini Thrust), played an active role in the sequence.
