Sentence examples for multiple fault planes from inspiring English sources

This is because several earthquake surface faults appeared with (sub meter order, suggesting that seismic ruptures proceeded on multiple fault planes.

It implies that the rupture cannot be accounted for by a simple fault motion on a single fault plane; instead, it is composed of a complicated slip distribution on one fault plane or composite fault motions by multiple fault planes.

Thus, these observations clearly indicate that the rupture of the M 7.3 event occurred on multiple fault planes along the Hinagu fault zone, the Futagawa fault zone, and its eastern extension.

The observations of surface ruptures, the spatial distribution of aftershocks, and the geodetic data, which will be mentioned later, suggest that the rupture of this event occurred on multiple fault planes along the Hinagu and Futagawa fault zones.

Geodetic inversion has been improved from being an averaged slip estimation of one or several fault planes to slip distribution estimation of multiple finite discrete fault patches, based on sufficient near-field constraints (Segall and Davis, 1997).

Mesoscale fault patterns in the marl-free chalk, including a larger displacement fault (20 m) containing multiple fault strands, show widespread evidence of hydraulically-brecciated rocks, whereas clays smears along fault planes, and injected into open fractures, and a simpler fault zone architecture is observed where marl horizons are present.

They form on fault planes or in zones of intense shearing.

In certain places, the fault planes are only a few centimetres thick and are almost impossible to detect.

The interpreted faults were converted to fault planes using the Petrel fault modelling process.

Figure 5 Temporal slip distribution on the two fault planes.

Two fault planes are possible because of the double couple.
