The Journal of Geology, Vol. 103, No. 1 (Jan., 1995), pp. 73-83 (11 pages) The Volcanic Tableland, brittle surface of the 764,000 yr-old Bishop Tuff, documents extensive faulting in the northern Owens ...

A recent study has revealed extensive data on how strike-slip faults develop over time and eventually cause earthquakes at the Earth's surface. Researchers coined the movement of two plates in a ...

Ground fissures and tectonic faults represent critical structural features within sedimentary basins, where the interplay of regional stress fields, depositional environments and, at times, human ...

A fault slicing across Turkey has long been a textbook example of how tectonic plates grind past one another, yet the headline promise that it is “overturning decades of geology” cannot be verified ...

Folds and Faults HD is a geology app that effectively demonstrates the behavior of rock under stress, from gentle folds to faults capable of earthquakes. Folds and Faults HD (99 cents) is an iPad ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Hitherto it has appeared that faulting is rather rare in Malaya, despite other indications of strong earth movements. Now, due largely to a ...

The Earth's crust may have something in common with a lot of people: It tends to be lazy, at least when it comes to moving along certain types of seismic faults, new research says. Using a special ...

One structural geologist calls it the 'million-dollar question' that underlies all work in her laboratory: what goes on deep in the earth as strike-slip faults form in the crust? This is the fault ...

Geophysical interpretation of existing data shows strong correlation between till anomalies and underlying faulted and folded rocks; Gold occurrences in the general area are characterized by a black ...

An effective quality control work flow using basic fault scaling relationships and distributions can help interrogate mapped prospects or appraised fields. Using displacement-length and cumulative ...
