[1] The 1994 Double Spring Flat (DSF) earthquake (M5.9) was the largest earthquake to strike Nevada in more than 30 years. It occurred in the Sierra Nevada-Basin and Range Transition Zone within a step-over region between two major normal faults. Descending and ascending ERS interferograms show a maximum range change of 8.5 cm which is the coseismic ground displacement associated with this norm...

[1] Earthquake nucleation and early seismic propagation are studied in a two-dimensional strike-slip fault model with depth-variable properties. The fault is governed by the Dieterich-Ruina rate and state friction law. We use an efficient and rigorous numerical procedure for elastodynamic analysis of earthquake sequences on slowly loaded faults developed by Lapusta et al. [2000]. We find that f...

kuhbanan fault system, as one of the intracontinental faults of central iran, is recognized by considerable seismogenic activities and modern morphotectonics evidences with a strike-slip (reverse component) motion. according to the geometric and kinematics data, kuhbanan fault has been divided into 5 segments (s26, s27, s28, s29, s30) in bahabad region. measured geomorphic indices of ratio of v...

The long-standing conflict between the predictions of elastic dislocation models and the observation that average coseismic slip increases with rupture length is resolved with application of a simple displacement-depth function and assumption that the base of the seismogenic zone does not result from the onset of viscous relaxation, but rather a transition to stable sliding in a medium that rem...

in current paper, geometrical relationship between the longitudinal faults of a zone of the folded zagros, surrounding asef mountains (north of shiraz) that follow the northwest-southeast structural trend (eg. zarghan, katah and sadra faults) has been studied. a western and southern zone of zagros mountain chain called folded zagros has a length of about 1375 km and a width between 120 and 250 ...

In this work, we prove the usefulness of morphometric analyses, typically applied to basin-border faults, define tectonic geomorphology a slow-moving, intrabasinal structure: Galera Fault (Guadix-Baza Basin, southern Spain). The is 30 km-long, oblique-slip fault with major left-lateral and minor vertical slip components. Through geological structural for first time detailed surface geometry fau...
