Where hanging wall andfootwallshave distinctlithologies, resistivity profiles across faults can help constrain fault attitude (Diaferia et al., 2006; Lee et al., 2009). On some faults,fault gougeor other materials within the fault zone have a distinct low-resistivity signature (e.g.,Diaferia...

Uplift occurs because slip on a dipping normal fault creates a broader root of less-dense material beneath the footwall, and a narrowed one beneath the hanging wall. In this paper, we investigate the potential influence of this process on the latest stages of Sierra Nevada uplift. Through ...
In many core complexes, the footwall rocks have been exhumed from middle to lower crustal depths, leading to considerable debate about the relationship between hangingwall and footwall rocks, and the role that detachment faults play in footwall exhumation. Here, garnet–biotite thermometry and ...
Fluid flowed from footwall to hanging wall only through transient secondary fracture networks that developed during deformation. Our study, which builds on the result of the earlier work, will allow us to understand better the deformation history of the area and will furnish constraints on fluid-...
In the hanging wall, extensional structures are much less pervasive and comprise a few high-angle normal faults. This sharp contrast in structural evolution of footwall and hanging wall resembles the tectonic evolution of major extensional shear zones worldwide. We propose that mid Cretaceous normal...
Along strike, three phases of footwall collapse caused by the active bounding fault stepping back into the footwall block were responsible for the punctuated, stepwise, landward migration of the rollover hinge and associated hanging wall growth faults during extension. The migration of these hanging...
Continued faulting and hangingwall subsidence then decoupled the slope from the platform top, halting the growth of clinoforms and causing the platform margin to switch from accretionary to bypass mode as the pre-rift substrate became exposed along a submarine fault escarpment. The downfaulted cli...
Zircon fission track ages range from 31.9 to 19.4 Ma, generally decrease in the hanging-wall slip direction, and yield slip rates along the Catalina detachment fault ranging from 1.2 to 12 km Myr1. In contrast, apatite fission track ages increase in the hanging wall slip direction. Samples ...
