What is an example of a strike-slip fault? An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California. The Anatolian Fault in Turkey and the Alpine Fault in New Zealand are also strike-slip faults.What is a Strike-Slip Fault? A fault is a break between two large pieces...
Strike-slip faulting, normal faulting, and lateral dike injections along a single fault: Field example of the Gljúfurá fault near a Tertiary oblique rift-transform zone, Borgarfjrur, west Iceland doi:10.1029/2001JB000150Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid EarthKhodayar, MaryamEinarss...
Instead, strike-slip faults cut through hills and valleys apparently of their own making. We show this to be a consequence of segments of the fault being nonparallel to each other and to the overall applied shear strain. Coseismic strains are large but transient since they are substantially ...
Noun1.strike-slip fault- a geological fault in which one of the adjacent surfaces appears to have moved horizontally faulting,geological fault,fracture,break,fault,shift- (geology) a crack in the earth's crust resulting from the displacement of one side with respect to the other; "they built...
The structural characteristics of two major strike-slip systems in the vicinity of Las Vegas, the left-lateral Lake Mead Fault System and the right-lateral Las-Vegas Valley Shear Zone, have been documented using Landsat imagery, topographic data, and gravity data. The strike-slip systems are fou...
SUMMARYWe examine whether the shape of the magnitude-frequency distribution for strike-slip faults is described by the Gutenburg-Richter relationship (log n=a - bM) or by the characteristic earthquake model, by analysing a data set of faults from California. Mexico, Japan, New Zealand, China an...

Variations in diurnal tidal stress due to Europa's eccentric orbit have been considered as the driver of strike-slip motion along pre-existing faults, but obliquity and physical libration have not been taken into account. The first objective of this work is to examine the effects of obliquity ...
