Thrust faults along the dichotomy boundary in the eastern hemisphere of Mars
[1] Mars Orbiter Laser Altimetry (MOLA) data have been used to characterize lobate scarps along the dichotomy boundary in the eastern hemisphere of Mars. These structures are the surface expression of thrust faulting of the southern highlands. Displacement on the thrust faults is generally less than 1 km except in the case of the Amenthes Rupes thrust fault, where the maximum displacement is on...
متن کاملAmenthes Cones, Mars: Hydrovolcanic (tuff) Rings and Cones from Phreatomagmatic Explosive Eruptions on Mars
Introduction: Mars was volcanically active throughout most, if not all, of its history [e.g., 1-4], and volcanism played a significant role in the formation of its surface. Another factor modifying the Martian surface is water, both in liquid and frozen state, and at and beneath the surface [e.g., 5]. Interactions of magma with water and/or ice should be common on Mars, therefore. On Earth, suc...
متن کاملfault pattern and estimation of uplift rate along the high zagros thrust fault
(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...
متن کاملSeismotectonics of the Koyna-Warna Area, India
Reservoir-induced seismicity has been observed near Koyna Dam, India since the early 1960s. In order to understand the seismotectonics of the region we analyzed available seismicity data from 1963 to 1995. Over 300 earthquakes with M]3.0 were relocated using revised location parameters (station locations, velocity model, station delays and Vp /Vs ratio). The spatial pattern of earthquakes was i...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of strong groundmotion due to thrust fault earthquakes
Thrust fault earthquakes are studied in a laboratory earthquake setup previously used to investigate analog strike-slip seismic events. Dynamic mode II ruptures are generated along preexisting faults in an analog material, Homalite H-100, and their interaction with the free surface is studied for both sub-Rayleigh and supershear rupture speeds. High-speed digital photography and laser velocimet...
