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 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 کاملExtracting Seismic Profiles from Background Seismic Signals
The idea of obtaining the seismic trace representing the impulse response at one receiver due to a source at another receiver has discussed by many authors. Jon Claerbout (see e.g. Rickett and Claerbout, 1996; Claerbout, web) introduced the concept to seismology. It has been investigated in the laboratory by Lobkis and Weaver (2001), observed in seismic data by Campillio and Paul (2003), and in...
متن کاملThe sedimentation history of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay: results from analysis of seismic reflection profiles
An extensive seismic reflection profile survey conducted concun:ently with a sediment coring program in northern Lake Huron, Georgian Bay, and the North Channel revealed a detailed Holocene lake level history. Seven acoustic sequences were identified in the seismic stratigraphy, and these sequences show great variation in both the character and the spatial distribution of sediment deposition th...
متن کاملLaboratory-derived Friction Laws and Their Application to Seismic Faulting
This paper reviews rock friction and the frictional properties of earthquake faults. The basis for rateand state-dependent friction laws is reviewed. The friction state variable is discussed, including its interpretation as a measure of average asperity contact time and porosity within granular fault gouge. Data are summarized showing that friction evolves even during truly stationary contact, ...
