Sentence examples for main fault slip from inspiring English sources

Main fault slip distribution is taken from Suzuki et al. (2010) and the conjugate fault is from fault 3 of Takada et al. (2009).

We explore the issue of location of the main fault slip by forward modeling of tsunami recordings at NOAA DART stations near Japan, using two early finite-source models obtained from seismic and geodetic inversions.

(b) Three-dimensional geometry of the main fault and discrete slip on patches.

The slip model for the Wenchuan earthquake inverted from the GPS data is shown in Fig. 2. On the main fault segment, the slip distribution is mainly characterized by reverse rupturing, with the maximum amplitude, 5 m, located near the hypocenter, and an amplitude of approximately 23 m located at the down-dip of the hypocenter.

These sites have been established near Taroko, Ruisui-Chimei, and Chengkung-Chihshang areas in eastern Taiwan, with a main objective of detecting fault slip along the LVF and the CRF.

If both the west-dipping main fault and the east-dipping conjugate fault slipped simultaneously during the earthquake, the initiation mechanism for the conjugate fault rupture might be of interest.

Fig. 2 (a) Plane view of the slip distribution on the main fault (bottom) and on the secondary fault (top right).

Two areas with large slip are separated by patches with smaller slip in the central section of the main fault.

The fault-zone contraction (i.e., fault-zone dilatancy) is induced by pervasive damage from fault slip, which can occur along a main shock fault.

If the rupturing of the fault plane reached the surface, the left-lateral strike-slip component could be mainly seen at the northeast of the main fault.

The slip models from both geodetic and teleseismic inversions show a general consistency, including reverse behavior near the epicenter and a right-lateral strike-slip with a significant reverse component in the NE part of the main fault.
