Discriminating between natural versus induced seismicity from long-term deformation history of intraplate faults
To assess whether recent seismicity is induced by human activity or is of natural origin, we analyze fault displacements on high-resolution seismic reflection profiles for two regions in the central United States (CUS): the Fort Worth Basin (FWB) of Texas and the northern Mississippi embayment (NME). Since 2009, earthquake activity in the CUS has increased markedly, and numerous publications su...
متن کاملThe discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone
The deformation at well-defined, narrow plate boundaries depends on the relative plate motion, but how the deformation takes place within a distributed plate boundary zone remains a conundrum. This was confirmed by the seismological analyses of the 2012 great Wharton Basin earthquakes [moment magnitude (Mw) 8.6], which suggested the rupture of several faults at high angles to one another. Using...
متن کاملgreen's function operator matrix of intraplate faults
this research presents a numerical tool to estimate the green's function operator matrix of intraplate faults. having this matrix and its inverse, spatial distribution of fault slippage could be investigated through the inverse analysis of geodetic data. this information could be employed to predict the location of future powerful earthquakes. to implement fault sliding in fe calculations,...
متن کاملDeformation on nearby faults induced by the 1999 Hector Mine earthquake.
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar observations of surface deformation due to the 1999 Hector Mine earthquake reveal motion on several nearby faults of the eastern California shear zone. We document both vertical and horizontal displacements of several millimeters to several centimeters across kilometer-wide zones centered on pre-existing faults. Portions of some faults experienced retrog...
