The North Fiordland transcurrent convergence
The crystalline basement of New Zealand shows a chi-shaped combination of the straight Alpine Fault and a curved late Paleozoic continental margin, so that the plutonic basement of northern Fiordland converges toward the plane of the Alpine Fault. On the ground along Milford Sound the petrography suggests (1) a gradual change from amphibolite and granulite fades in the west to igneous fabrics d...
متن کاملCircum - Pacific Faulting in the Philippines - Taiwan Region
Conflicting views of circum-Pacific tectonics have focused on the PhilippinesTaiwan region, where there has been neither convincing documentation nor general agreement on the importance of transcurrent (strike-slip) faulting or the possible sense of regional horizontal displacement. Structural and physiographic features of the 1200-km-long Philippine fault zone are fully as spectacular as those...
متن کاملGray Codes Faulting Matchings
A (cyclic) n-bit Gray code is a (cyclic) ordering of all 2 binary strings of length n such that consecutive strings differ in a single bit. Equivalently, an nbit Gray code can be viewed as a Hamiltonian path of the n-dimensional hypercube Qn, and a cyclic Gray code as a Hamiltonian cycle of Qn. In this paper we study Hamiltonian paths and cycles of Qn avoiding a given set of faulty edges that f...
متن کاملBookshelf faulting in Nicaragua
Oblique subduction at a high rate of convergence along much of the Middle America Trench results in northwest-directed trench-parallel block motion. Accommodation of this motion along northwest-striking dextral strike-slip faults has been postulated; however, in Nicaragua such faults are not well developed. We suggest instead that this motion is accommodated by bookshelf faulting that includes ...
متن کاملAftershock Patterns and Main Shock Faulting
We have compared aftershock patterns following several moderate to large earthquakes with the corresponding distributions of coseismic slip obtained from previous analyses of the recorded strong ground motion and teleseismic waveforms. Well-located aftershock hypocenters are projected onto the main shock fault plane, and their positions are examined relative to the zones of coseismic displaceme...
