Fluid pressure in thrust faulting, a corollary

American Journal of Science, 1962
Hubbert and Rubey [GeoScience Abstracts 1-367, 1-368] reviewed occurrences of fluid pressure approaching total overburden pressure in sedimentary rocks, particularly clayey sediments, and suggested that such high fluid pressure is capable of greatly reducing internal friction in the rock and thus facilitating the formation of low-angle thrust faults ...

Thrust Fault-Related Folding

2011
Thrust fault-related folds form numerous important hydrocarbon traps in sub-aerial and deepwater fold and thrust belts as well as in inversion fold and thrust belts. This publication presents 16 papers on new advances in the analysis and understanding of thrust-related fold systems including detachment folds, thrust-fault propagation folds, wedge ...

The Seismogenic Zone of Subduction Thrust Faults

Seismological Research Letters, 2008
This book is essentially B.S.—Before Sumatra. Before December 26, 2004, when part of the thrust fault interface between the subducting Indian and overriding Burma plates off the coast of Sumatra broke. Before the rupture raced 1,200 km northward at 10,000 km/hr (Mach 8).

Centrifuge modelling of the propagation of thrust faults

1992
Three-dimensional propagation of thrust faults in duplex structures and the mechanism of formation of large thrusts have been investigated by analogue modelling using the centrifuge technique. Plasticine and silicone putty are used to simulate rocks such as limestone and shale, respectively. The models contain a stratigraphic succession composed of six

Thrust Faulting in Arbuckle Mountains, Oklahoma

AAPG Bulletin, 1945
ABSTRACT There are thirteen erratic masses superimposed on Simpson strata ranging in age from the Oil Creek formation to the Bromide formation south of the city of Sulphur, Murray County, Oklahoma. The rocks of the erratic masses range in age from the McLish formation to the Trenton formation.

Thrust Faults of Ventura Basin: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1953
ABSTRACT When examining the over-all picture of the Ventura basin, one is impressed by the number of large thrust faults which occur. These east-west faults are among the most predominant structural features of the area. Much of the present topography is controlled by these faults.

Thrust faults in inverted extensional basins

1992
Thrust faults in inverted extensional basins may not exhibit the simple low-angle, ramp-flat thrust trajectories that are characteristic of many foreland fold and thrust belts, but are expected to show more complex geometries controlled by the architecture of the earlier extensional fault system.

Subsidence by Thrusting: The Discussion of a Hypothetical Fault

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1939
If a low-angle thrust cut through the sial into the dunite of the sima the region affected is uplifted by thickening of the crust. This concentration of mass puts the crust locally out of isostatic balance. The measure of uplift may be the same throughout a section transverse to the strike, but the excess load will vary with the density of the rocks ...
