4a) cut across the FAA and the IMO, meaning that they certainly slipped within the last 700,000 years (Middle Pleistocene), i.e. after the deposition of the IMO (e.g., Amorosi et al., 1998; Fig. 2b), providing evidence of relatively recent tectonic activity and segmentation along the...
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...
[King et al., 1994]. The friction coefficient is set to 0.6 for both fault and reservoir, and a cohesion of 10 MPa is assigned to the reservoir elements. The fault zone is assumed cohesionless. Friction is constant once the condition for failure is reached, meaning neither hardening nor ...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
