The present-day Aegean tectonic configuration is marked by the interplay between Hellenic slab rollback and Anatolian extrusion, explaining formation of extensional basins dextral strike-slip faults. We aim to constrain middle Miocene activity normal faults in Central Greece with structural analysis low-temperature data. show that onshore are controlled both NW-striking NE-striking E-striking d...

The NNW-trending Dena Fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in Borujen region. The fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. This study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of Dena Fault based on field evidence....

Abstract Plate tectonics describes oceanic transform faults as conservative strike-slip boundaries, where lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. Therefore, seafloor accreted at ridge-transform intersections should follow a similar subsidence trend with age that forms away from intersections. Yet, recent compilations of high-resolution bathymetry show the significantly deeper along than a...

Upper-plate faulting in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State results from relative motion crustal blocks within Cascadia forearc and earthquake cycle processes along subduction zone. We reconstruct fault slip rates since ∼14 ka on Sadie Creek (SCF), north Mountains, using airborne lidar field mapping surficial deposits landforms optically stimulated luminescence radiocarbon dating. The SCF...

a doublet of earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.5 and 6.2 in mw scale (global cmt) on 2010 december 20 and 2011 january 27 respectively struck the area that lies between the nehbandan and jiroft fault systems, southeast of iran. these earthquakes occurred in correspondence of the southwestern termination of the kahourak right lateral strike slip fault. the focal mechanisms of both the mainshocks ...

The paper examines the behaviour of buried continuous pipelines crossing strike-slip faults using experimental and numerical modelling. A newly developed experiment setup is presented along with derivation relevant scaling laws non-dimensional terms governing global response to faulting. Four model tests are carried out understand performance results through derived framework. Three-dimensional...

in 2012 august 11 (12:23 utc) a moderate earthquake with mw=6.4 (usgs) occurred between ahar and varzaghan towns in azarbayjan province at northwest of iran. after eleven minutes another earthquake shook the area with mw=6.2 (usgs). these consecutive earthquakes followed by intensive sequences of aftershocks whereas the strongest one had mw=5.3 (usgs). in data processing including depth modific...
