III.—A Miniature Illustration of Normal Faulting

Timing and Rates of Quaternary Normal Faulting in Central Tibet

In Summer 1998, a 400 km long seismic refraction profile (INDEPTH III) was shot in Central Tibet. Apart from recording the signals of 11 shots along the line, the stations also recorded a number of local earthquakes more or less in the extension of the line. Record sections and travel time data from both shots and earthquakes were compiled and interpreted jointly. The following peculiarities ar...

Post-Triassic normal faulting and extensional structures in Central Alborz, Northern Iran

This paper presents structural evidence of extensional activity in Central Alborz during Mesozoic. The structural evidence of homogenous early stage stretching such as layer-parallel to oblique boudinage of Permian and Triassic rocks in various portions of the study area accompanied by extensional-fibrous fractures were followed with more advanced extensional features. These extensional structu...

Tectonic Implications of Subcrustal, Normal Faulting Earthquakes in the Western Shikoku Region, Japan

Tectonic implications of subcrustal, normal faulting earthquakes in the western Shikoku region have been investigated in sorme detail, mainly based on the faulting mechanism of the Bungo channel earthquake of August 6, 1968 (M=6.6, h=45km) and its aftershocks. A synthetic study of the focal mechanism solution, spatial distribution of aftershocks, seismic waves observed in the near and far field...

Correspondence of Syntagmatic and Paradigmatic Axes Relations, and Their Transformation in Relation to the Communicative Role of Shahnameh Illustration in Shiraz School of Miniature

When treated like texts with their own visual language, illustrations from the Shiraz School of miniature are a mixture of the syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations of signs. Syntagmatic relations reveal the different ways the elements of a text are connected, while paradigmatic relations identify the sets of signifiers that signify the content of the text, dealing with intratextual and intert...
