Sentence examples for faults relative from inspiring English sources

One of the only ways to identify a drastic decrease in the friction coefficient during seismic slip in outcrop is to measure the frictional heating on faults relative to the surrounding rock.

The absolute pore-fluid pressure can be obtained by further assuming that the vertical stress is the weight of the overburden and that optimally oriented faults relative to the stress pattern are critically stressed under hydrostatic pressure.

In order to address this issue the FDE exclusion rate statistic (number of detected GNSS faults relative to the total number of injected GNSS faults for a given fault amplitude) is shown in Fig. 8 both for weighted and non-weighted LS and KF methods using the Monte Carlo simulation with induced GNSS faults as discussed before.

Slip on this fault (i.e., the movement of one face of the fault relative to the other) brings the leading edge of the off-scraped slice of crust to the surface of the Earth, where it then slides along the surface.

The rupture is constrained to grow outward on the fault relative to a specified hypocenter at 1.5 km/s to a distance of 100 km and then at 2.5 km/s until it reaches the margins of the fault model.

It is seen from Fig. 3 that the stress state on the fault, relative to the tectonic stress, can be effectively estimated only at the vicinity of the junction of the Annignhe and the Zemuhe faults.

Considering these two conflicting observations, it is necessary to examine two aspects of the stress state of the Anninghe-Zemuhe fault zone: the first is whether the stress drop on the Zemuhe fault, relative to the tectonic stress at the latest earthquake in 1850, is detectable or not.

These are geology (lithology), fault density, distance to fault, relative permeability of lithologies, elevation, slope aspect, slope steepness, curvature, plan curvature, profile curvature, topographic wetness index, stream power index, sediment transport capacity index, drainage density, distance to drainage, land use/cover, and precipitation.

It is shown that the wall thickness, depth, and shear strength should be designed on the basis of the magnitude of the bedrock fault offset, the location of the fault relative to the structure, and the shear strength of the soil.

10 13 Differences in the populations studied, how the participants were recruited, methods for measuring blame or fault, outcomes of interest and the timing of capturing perceptions of blame or fault relative to the injury event, could explain the observed inconsistency of study findings.

These fault parameters are fault dips, fault shear strength and fault locations relative to the underground structure.
