In essence, faults are large cracks in the Earth's surface where parts of thecrustmove in relation to one another. The crack itself does not make it a fault, but rather the movement of the plates on either side is what designates it as a fault. These movements prove that the Earth has...

Model for episodic flow of high-pressure water in fault zones before earthquakes In this model for the evolution of large crustal faults, water originally from the country rock saturates the porous and permeable fault zone. During shear... JD Byerlee - 《Geology》 被引量: 1987发表: 1993年 加...
Grand Canyon map includes 13 different maps of the Grand Canyon, highlighting everything from terrain and topography to ecosystems, ecology, and geology.
Scaled sandbox experiments were used to generate models for relative ages, dip, strike and three-dimensional shape of faults in basement-controlled wrench faulting. The basic fault sequence runs from early en échelon Riedel shears and splay faults through ‘lower-angle’ shears to P shears. The ...
Normal faults in chalk at Flamborough Head consist of a complex network of small faults which accommodate strain between a set of large faults. The different-sized faults at Flamborough Head have different geometries and histories, with the larger faults showing a phase of reverse reactivation. The...
In the depth sections in Figs. 1 and 3A it appears as a band of blue dots, in large parts clearly separated from crustal events (UP) and also from upper plane events (P2). This is in line with observations that subduction megathrusts must be weak faults33 because of their unfavorable ...
Grant Young was raised on the small Isle of Bute in western Scotland where abundant rock exposures stimulated an early interest in geology. Following studies at the University of Glasgow, emigration to Canada and introduction to the Huronian Supergroup led to a life-long interest in Precambrian roc...
