Abstract Earthquakes on strike-slip faults are preserved in the geomorphic record by offset land-forms that span a range of displacements, from small offsets created most recent earthquake (MRE) to large cumulative slip multiple prior events. An exponential decay number has been observed many faults, and leading hypothesis is climate controls rate decay. We present measurements compiled 31 stud...

Middle Miocene alluvial fans in the intramontane Fohnsdorf Basin of the Eastern Alps originated along normal faults and linked strike-slip faults in a continental half-graben setting. The fans display considerable facies differences. Debris flows of the Rachau fan are characterized by a sandy matrix and large boulders, whereas debris flows of the Apfelberg fan are characterized by higher silt a...

Silicic calderas form during explosive volcanic eruptions when magma withdrawal triggers collapse along bounding faults. The nature of specific interactions between magmatism and tectonism in caldera-forming systems is, however, unclear. Regional stress patterns may control the location and geometry of magma reservoirs, which in turn may control the spatial and temporal development of faults. H...

In the western Sydney Basin, the Lapstone Structural Complex is a major north-trending association of monoclines and faults that forms the frontal ridge of the Blue Mountains Plateau. At Kurrajong Heights, the Lapstone Structural Complex is dominated by an eastfacing monocline with a gently dipping central limb containing several different homoclinal segments. At the Hawkesbury Lookout section,...

Abstract Crustal deformation occurs both as localized slip along faults and distributed off of faults. While there are few robust estimates off‐fault in nature, scaled physical experiments simulating crustal strike‐slip faulting allow direct measurement the ratio fault to regional deformation, quantified kinematic efficiency (KE). We offer an approach predict KE using a 2D convolutional neural ...

[1] Motivated by observations in the 2008Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, we study effects of systematic changes in the principal stress orientation along the fault strike on rupture dynamics and ground motion using a 3‐D finite‐element method. Based on Anderson’s theory of faulting, we set up the initial stress field with rotations in stress orientations along strike for a dynamic rupture model of ...

The evolution of oroclines is often driven by the interplay subduction and indentation associated with complex patterns deformation transfer from shortening to strike-slip extension. We study kinematics mechanics in an orocline a backarc-convex geometry, European Carpatho-Balkanides Mountains. Within this orocline, kinematic Serbian Carpathians segment less understood. results demonstrate that ...

The Maigaiti Slope is a significant oil-gas-bearing field in the Tarim Basin. Based on 3D and 2D seismic data, systematic interpretation, stage sorting genetic analysis of strike-slip faults were carried out for first time. relationship between hydrocarbon accumulation was studied combination with fine dissection reservoirs. study suggested that: (1) Staging segmentation characteristics are evi...
