The southern San Jacinto fault zone is characterized by high seismicity and a complex fault pattern that offers an excellent setting for investigating interactions between distinct fatfits. This fault zone is roughly outlined by two subparallel master fault strands, the Coyote Creek and Clark-San Felipe Hills faults, that are located 2 to 10 km apart and are intersected by a series of secondary...

!%" The Vogar Fissure Swarm is one of four en-echelon fracture swarms that connect the !&" Reykjanes Ridge to the South Iceland Seismic Zone and the Western Volcanic Zone. !'" Occurring in an area of flat topography, this fissure swarm is clearly visible at the surface, !(" where it can be seen to affect recent postglacial lavas. Using remote sensing methods to !)" identify and measure all the ...

The 1999 Izmit earthquake (17/08/1999, Mw=7.4) was one of the largest earthquakes in the past 100 years in the northwestern region of Turkey. This earthquake occurred along the Izmit-Sapanca fault within the Northern Anatolian Fault Zone. Variations in the generalized fractal dimensions (Dq) of clustering in time and space, the Gutenberg-Richter b-value, and earthquake frequency (N) are evaluat...

Pliocene and Quaternary tectonic structures mainly consisting of segmented northwest–southeast normal faults, and associated seismicity in the central Betics do not agree with the transpressive tectonic nature of the Africa–Eurasia plate boundary in the Ibero-Maghrebian region. Active extensional deformation here is heterogeneous, individual segmented normal faults being linked by relay ramps a...

(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...
