Structural similarity and variety at the tips in a wide range of strike–slip faults: a review
YS Kim, DJ Sanderson - Terra Nova, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Strike–slip faults are often accompanied by a variety of structures, particularly at their tips.
The zones of additional fracturing are classified as tip‐damage zones. These zones can be …

Active tectonics of the south Caspian basin
We use observations of surface faulting, well-constrained earthquake focal mechanisms and
centroid depths, and velocity structure determined by surface wave propagation and …

A reappraisal of earthquake focal mechanisms and active shortening in the Zagros mountains of Iran
M Talebian, J Jackson - Geophysical Journal International, 2004 - academic.oup.com
The Zagros mountains of SW Iran are one of the most seismically active intra-continental fold-

Slip rate gradients along the eastern Kunlun fault
Whether strike‐slip fault systems in Eurasia accomplish eastward extrusion of Tibetan crust
and lithosphere depends largely on the kinematics of deformation at the fault tip. Here we …

Offset and evolution of the Gowk fault, SE Iran: a major intra-continental strike-slip system
We use drainage reconstructions to estimate long-term offsets on the Gowk fault, an oblique
right-lateral strike-slip fault in eastern Iran, on which there have been a number of recent …
