Late Quaternary and present-day rates of slip along the Altyn Tagh Fault, northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau
[1] Both Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements and studies of Late Quaternary faulting are consistent with a slip rate of 10 mm/yr along the central segment of the Altyn Tagh Fault and a systematic decrease in that rate toward the eastern end of the fault. Dates of terraces above and below laterally offset terrace risers yield bounds on Quaternary slip rates that range from those that ag...
متن کاملLate Quaternary slip rates across the central Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan, central Asia
[1] Slip rates across active faults and folds show that late Quaternary faulting is distributed across the central Tien Shan, not concentrated at its margins. Nearly every intermontane basin contains Neogene and Quaternary syntectonic strata deformed by Holocene north-south shortening on thrust or reverse faults. In a region that spans two thirds of the north-south width of the central Tien Sha...
متن کاملoffsets along the doruneh fault; implications for dating sampling sites and slip rate determination
the doruneh fault is one of the longest and most prominent faults in iran. however, only two recorded historical earthquakes with magnitudes more than 7 might be related to this fault. for getting more information on this fault more investigation in different fields are required. fault displacement is one of the most important parameters needed to explore the fault activity. in this study, with...
متن کاملUsing IRSL to determine the slip rate of the Doruneh fault in Khalilabad
Introduction The left lateral Doruneh Fault System (DFS), is one of the longest, and most prominent, strike-slip faults in Iran, extending from the eastern border of Iran to the central Dasht-e-Kavir with a curved geometry. DFS is the response of the convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian plates in the regional tectonic map. Regarding to scaling relationships this fault with length of ...
متن کاملIs there a discrepancy between geological and geodetic slip rates along the San Andreas Fault System?
Previous inversions for slip rate along the San Andreas Fault System (SAFS), based on elastic half-space models, show a discrepancy between the geologic and geodetic slip rates along a few major fault segments. In this study, we use an earthquake cycle model representing an elastic plate over a viscoelastic half-space to demonstrate that there is no significant discrepancy between long-term geo...
