Strain in the lithosphere localizes into tabular zones known as shear zones that grow from
small outcrop-size individual zones to large composite structures. Nucleation is related to …

Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust. They
control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of …

川藏铁路作为史上修建难度最大的铁路, 沿线具有显著的地形高差, 强烈的板块活动,
密集的深大断裂, 频发的山地灾害等恶劣地质环境特点, 工程建设面临着复杂多变的地表和地下 …

The present paper reviews our current understanding of fault dimensions and their scaling
laws, with special focus on faults in siliciclastic rocks. The aim is to provide a comprehensive …

The relationship between maximum displacement (dmax) and fault length (L) has been
studied extensively, mainly in attempts to understand how fault geometry varies over …

The interpretation of fault kinematics from geometric data is an essential step in developing
an understanding of the growth of fault systems. Constraints on fault geometry are, however …

Physical models predict that multiphase rifts that experience a change in extension direction
between stretching phases will typically develop non-colinear normal fault sets …

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 …

Detailed kinematic analysis of a large (1800 m maximum displacement) reactivated normal
fault in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand, has been conducted using high quality 3D seismic …

In this paper we determine the structure and evolution of a normal fault system by applying
qualitative and quantitative fault analysis techniques to a 3D seismic reflection dataset from …
