It is increasingly apparent that faults are typically not discrete planes but zones of deformed
rock with a complex internal structure and three-dimensional geometry. In the last decade …

Abstract The North Atlantic, extending from the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north
Norway-Greenland-Svalbard margins, is regarded as both a classic case of structural …

Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at
large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …

Geodetic data support a short-term continental deformation localized in faults bounding
lithospheric blocks. Whether major “faults” observed at the surface affect the lithospheric …

In intraplate orogens tectonothermal activity occurs at a site removed from a plate margin
and is considered to result from localization of far-field plate-boundary stresses through a …

A seismically active low-angle normal fault is recognized at depth in the Northern
Apennines, Italy, where recent exhumation has also exposed ancient examples at the …

The formation of major exhumed strike-slip faults represents one of the most important
dynamic processes affecting the evolution of the Earth's lithosphere. Detailed models of the …

In the context of rift basin formation, structural inheritance describes the influence of pre-
existing structures on new rift-related structures, including faults. Pre-existing structures in …

Stress and fluid-pressure conditions within seismogenic crust are compared for two
subparallel belts of active deformation and fluid redistribution associated with the obliquely …

When Earth's crust deforms, earth-quakes can be triggered by displacements along fault
zones. Such fault zones can be sites of repeated deformation for hundreds of millions of …
