Substantive discussions address the choice and meaning of a metric, the idea of interaction and time series analysis, the ontology of variation, and the epistemology of randomization, hypothesis-seeking, and multiple comparisons.doi:10.1016/0148-9062(90)92724-SErbes, Robert Leonard...
The presence of the Katavi fault raises the question of the tectonic meaning of the other lineaments of the same NNW–SSE category. In particular, the western limit of the Katuma basin is also controlled by a lineament parallel to the Katavi Fault, although less pronounced, and whose traces ...
Friction is constant once the condition for failure is reached, meaning neither hardening nor weakening is associated with inelastic strain. The host rock (Fig. 2a light green) is fully elastic. All elements are assigned a volumetric thermal contraction coefficient 4.5 × 10−5 /K, a bulk ...
The numerical results indicate that the fields corresponding to a real earth model differ meaningly with comparison to a homogeneous non-gravitating model. The theory is applied to the Alaskan earthquake of March 28, 1964. The strains recorded at Isabella agree with the calculated values; but ...
Normal fault occurrences in high plateaux reflect an extensional regime which develops in mountain belts where convergence is still active. However, normal faults are also created in active belts, within the compressive edges which theoretically only undergo thrust faulting. The meaning of such normal ...
Moment tensor is a basic concept of source representation in seismology, established in the 1970s. On the basis of theoretical consideration to the equation of motion in continuum mechanics, we clarified the physical meaning of the Backus-Mulcahy moment tensor and derived a fundamental equation that...
