Conditions for Thrust Faulting in a Glacier
Dipping, arcuate bands of debris-rich ice outcropping near the margins of glaciers are often interpreted as thrust faults, assumed to originate in zones of longitudinal compression. Identification of thrusts is typically based either on the geometry and sedimentology of the debris bands or on the crystal fabric of surrounding ice, but the physical processes necessary to generate thrusts are rar...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
Repeated foreshock sequences in the thrust faulting environment of eastern Taiwan
[1] Foreshock sequences have repeatedly been observed in the thrust faulting system of the Chengkung area in eastern Taiwan. Examinations of earthquakes since 1992 in this area show all six of the larger earthquakes (ML R 5) had foreshocks at a distance of only a few kilometres within just a few days before the main shocks. The largest earthquake (ML = 6.5) on December 10, 2003 was preceded by ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Near-Fault Ground Motions by Dynamic Thrust Faulting: Two-Dimensional Lattice Particle Approaches
Two-dimensional lattice particle models have been used to simulate dynamic thrust faulting and its effects on near-fault ground motions. The lattice particle modeling approach has been demonstrated as an efficient way to model the dynamic rupture phenomena observed from a foam rubber experiment on dipping faults. We constructed a 42 dipping fault model to simulate near-fault ground motions unde...
متن کاملArchitecture of transpressional thrust faulting in the San Bernardino Mountains, southern California, from deformation of a deeply weathered surface
To investigate the architecture of transpressional deformation and its long-term relationship to plate motion in southern California, we have studied the deformation pattern and structural geometry of orogeny within the San Andreas fault system. The San Bernardino Mountains have formed recently at the hub of several active structures that intersect the San Andreas fault east of Los Angeles. Thi...
