Sentence examples for fault move from inspiring English sources

These authors adopted Bowman's idea to the Kokoxili earthquake and then concluded that slip partitioning is a consequence of rupture propagation within the brittle upper crust, and thus, it would not occur if all parts of a fault move simultaneously.

The fault moves in the horizontal direction, causing significant plastic deformation in the pipeline.

The result generally indicated that GNSS sites located south of the fault moved to the west and that those located to north of the fault moved to the east or north (Fig. 6).

The right-looking image (Fig. 2a) shows that the south side of the fault moves to the satellite and the north side of the fault moves away from the satellite.

The aftershock activity and InSAR data (Fig. 2) also support that the fault rupture occurred mainly along the Futagawa fault, but the Hinagu fault moved, too.

Finally, a fourth fault slipped, the sides of the fault moving as much as 6 meters past each other along a 50-to-100-kilometer segment of fault in just 15 seconds.

Some major earthquakes, such as the 2011 magnitude-9 Tohoku quake in Japan, are preceded by large "slow-slip events," in which part of the fault moves quietly, without seismic notice, loading the fault to the point of rupture.

Based on this study and Kumahara et al. (2016), we interpret that the Takano fault, the Kita-Amagi fault, and the southwesternmost part of the Futagawa fault moved during the largest foreshock event, and that the Shirahata, Takano, Kita-Amagi, and Futagawa faults moved during the mainshock.

The results show that more than one strata rupture appears when the normal fault moves, and at least one rupture reaches the ground surface as the vertical fault dislocation is approximately 4.4% of the covering depth.

Nakata (1989) claimed that an en-echeloned active right-lateral strike-slip fault system from northwest Nepal to eastern Nepal cuts obliquely across the Himalayan range due to slip partitioning, such that the block lying to the southwestern side of the fault moves northwestward with respect to the block lying to the northeastern parts.

Motion along the southern edge of the fault was predominantly dip slip (i.e., land on one side of the fault moving under land on the other side), leading to an increment of uplift of the mountain range and subsidence of the Sichuan basin.
