In recent years, the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi has experienced several earthquakes ranging in magnitude from 1.0 to 6.7. According last 50 years earthquake data, majority NCR have occurred near Mahendragarh Dehradun Fault (MDF) and Sohna (SF). The region is bounded by a number subsurface Ridges, Faults, Lineaments, which are also influenced active plate boundary Indian Eurasian pla...

The Honey Lake fault is a major strike-slip fault in northeastern California that accommodates northwest-directed right-lateral shear in the northern Walker Lane. We reexamine the fault’s paleoseismic history and slip rate by evaluating a natural stream bank exposure of the fault and offset terrace riser. Structural and stratigraphic relations within the modern stream cut, radiocarbon ages, and...

The detailed analysis of the initial ground stress distribution law is an important work for safety tunnel construction and operation. Especially, high phenomenon in deep-buried area common, which has a great impact on construction. Based on-site measured data, field by numerical simulation multiple linear regression mainly described this study. Following comparison selection three coefficient ...

This paper aims to present a new neotectonic perspective concordant with the seismic activities in Turkey and surrounding regions. The structures have been re-evaluated mainly by using focal mechanism solutions high-resolution satellite (Google Earth) images. Southeast Anatolian Wedge explains thrust/blind thrust asymmetrical folding relationship SE Turkey, Syria, Northern Iraq. of Turkish-Iran...

Megasplay faults, very long thrust faults that rise from the subduction plate boundary megathrust and intersect the sea floor at the landward edge of the accretionary prism, are thought to play a role in tsunami genesis. We imaged a megasplay thrust system along the Nankai Trough in three dimensions, which allowed us to map the splay fault geometry and its lateral continuity. The megasplay is c...

ABSTRACT The structural complexity of active faults and the stress release history along fault system may exert control on locus extent individual earthquake ruptures. Fault bends, in particular, are often invoked as a possible mechanism for terminating However, there few records available to examine how these factors influence along-fault recurrence earthquakes. We present new paleoearthquake ...

The Kalabagh strike–slip fault, which is characterized by right-lateral movement, part of the northwestern Himalayan foreland fold and thrust belt in Pakistan. This structure marks western eastern terminations Salt Range Surghar Ranges, respectively. No significant (>M6) earthquakes have been reported along Fault recent decades. Here, we take advantage space-borne Sentinel-1A SAR interfe...

The Cingoli arcuate anticline is part of the Apennines fold-thrust belt in Italy. The anticline nvolves sedimentary carbonate strata generally affected by syn-thrusting contractional tructures such as bed-normal pressure solution seams, folds, and reverse faults. An xception is constituted by an outcrop in the anticline hinge, where sub-horizontal arbonate and chert beds are affected by joints ...
