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 ...

Development of Thrust Faults

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1935
INTRODUCTION The characteristic feature of all faults is displacement. But faults are finite, they must die out downward as well as laterally, and many faults originally failed to reach the surface. Displacement thus becomes zero at the margins of the fault plane, and must, therefore, vary, not only across the direction of movement, but also parallel ...

The Pamir frontal thrust fault

2021
The Pamir Frontal Thrust (PFT) of the Trans-Alai Range in Central Asia is the principal active fault of the intracontinental convergence zone between the Pamir and Tien Shan. Its northward propagation is reflected by frequent seismic activity and ongoing crustal shortening.

Thermal effects of thrust faulting

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1981
Abstract Calculations based on simple models of overthrust sheets in crystalline basement rocks show that significant thermal effects may result from their movements. If rates are sufficiently high (e.g. plate tectonic rates), the thrust sheets sufficiently thick (5, 10 and 15 km are modelled here), the distances moved sufficiently large, and for ...

Recent thrust faulting in southeastern Connecticut

Geology, 1979
Since precolonial times, low-magnitude seismic activity has been noted in southeastern Connecticut. South of Colchester, drill holes made in 1970 for roadcut blasting soon developed offsets that provide evidence for recently active thrust faulting.

Alternative model of thrust-fault propagation

Geology, 1987
A widely accepted explanation for the geometry of thrust faults is that initial failures occur on deeply buried planes of weak rock and that thrust faults propagate toward the surface along a staircase trajectory. We propose an alternative model that applies Gretener's beam-failure mechanism to a multilayered sequence. Invoking compatibility conditions,

Scaling properties of thrust fault traces in the Himalayas and inferences on thrust fault growth

Journal of Structural Geology, 2006
Abstract Map traces of thrust faults in the Himalaya show a conspicuous cuspate–lobate pattern, i.e. broad lobes joined by sharp angular cusps. For each lobe, we can draw a chord by joining the apices of two adjacent cusps, and define amplitude (A) by perpendicular distance of apex of the lobe from its chord.
