Strike - Slip Earthquakes on Quasi - Vertical Transcurrent Faults : Inferences for General Scaling Relations
_Abstract., The recent occurrence of several large su'ike-slip earthquakes provides the opportunity to review and complement available data on the scaling of seismic moment (Mo) with length of rupture (L) for large earthquakes, depending on their tectonic setting and mechanism. For strikeslip earthquakes onquasi-vertical transcurrent faults, the Mo versus L relation has a significant change of ...
متن کاملThe North Fiordland transcurrent convergence
The crystalline basement of New Zealand shows a chi-shaped combination of the straight Alpine Fault and a curved late Paleozoic continental margin, so that the plutonic basement of northern Fiordland converges toward the plane of the Alpine Fault. On the ground along Milford Sound the petrography suggests (1) a gradual change from amphibolite and granulite fades in the west to igneous fabrics d...
متن کاملSplay Faults in the Makran Subduction Zone and Changes of their Transferred Coulomb Stress
The Makran subduction zone in northeast and the Sumatra subduction zone (Sunda) in the west have been known as tsunamigenic zones of the Indian Ocean. The 990 km long Makran subduction zone is located offshore of Iran, Pakistan and Oman. Similar to many subduction zones all over the world, the Makran accretionary prism is associated with an imbricate of thrust faults across the zone, which may ...
متن کاملJoints, faults and palaeostress evolution in the Campo de Dalias (Betic Cordilleras, southeastern Spain) Diaclases, failles et évolution des paléocontraintes dans le Campo de Dalias (Cordillères bétiques, Sud-Est de l’Espagne)
The Campo de Dalías, located between the central and eastern Betic Cordilleras, shows an evolution determined by the overprinting of two main stress fields since Pliocene times. The first of these develops hybrid and tensional joint sets up to Pleistocene (100 000 yr) and is characterized by NNW–SSE horizontal trend of compression and an ENE–WSW horizontal extension. The second stress field has...
متن کاملStress Test for Disturb Faults in Non-Volatile Memories
Non-volatile memories are susceptible to special type of faults known as program disturb faults. Testing for such faults requires the application of stress tests which have long application time to distinguish faulty cells from nonfaulty cells. In this paper, we present a new sensing scheme that can be used with stress tests to allow for efficient detection of faulty cells based on the notion o...
