Major intracontinental strike-slip faults and contrasts in lithospheric strength
P Molnar, KE Dayem - Geosphere, 2010 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
A large fraction of major intracontinental strike-slip faults, defined here as those slipping at
rates of∼ 10 mm/yr or more, lie adjacent to relatively strong regions, such as oceanic …

The 2021 Mw 7.3 Madoi, China earthquake: Transient supershear ruptures on a presumed immature strike‐slip fault
We used seismic data recorded at local and teleseismic distances to analyze the May 22,
2021 Mw 7.3 Madoi, China earthquake sequence, which occurred along a low‐slip‐rate (0.3 …

Interseismic strain accumulation across the central North Anatolian Fault from iteratively unwrapped InSAR measurements
Abstract The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is a major tectonic feature in the Middle East and is
the most active fault in Turkey. The central portion of the NAF is a region of Global …
