Sentence examples for orientation of fault from inspiring English sources

The aforementioned optimal orientation of Fault F may be the cause of the generation of the foreshock activity and the nucleation of the mainshock.

We derived N-S-striking V-shaped negative anomalies that are consistent with the orientation of fault zones revealing major temperature anomalies to their east.

Although there exist many graphical programs to represent the shear stress (or slickenline) orientations on faults, programs to quantitatively calculate the orientation of fault slip based on a given stress field are scarce.

Areas with well-developed tectonic fractures are mainly controlled by the tectonic stress field and elastic strain energy density, typically located in the fold limbs, fault zones and locations of changes in the orientation of fault.

Horizontally, areas with well-developed tectonic fractures were primarily located in fault zones, regions among faults, around Well G107 and with changes in the orientation of faults.

Shear-wave splitting in the crust is related to the orientation of faults or cracks, and it is thought that propagating cracks are preferentially aligned parallel to the orientation of the maximum stress axis, in turn meaning that the polarization direction should also be parallel to the maximum stress axis (Crampin, 1981).

Figure 10c shows that orientations of fault planes are distributed very widely, and any special focal mechanisms do not have large misfits.

As shown in Fig. 8b, RMS misfits were small, and the orientations of fault planes are varied widely in these regions.

In this model, shear-wave splitting in the crust is caused by the orientations of faults or cracks, and it is thought that propagating cracks are preferentially aligned subparallel to the orientation of the axis of maximum stress.

Because it is assumed in stress inversion that stress is uniform throughout an analysis area, fault strength is inferred to vary depending on the orientations of faults (Rivera and Kanamori 2002).

Based on a clear spatial link between the orientations of faults and bedrock lineaments, we suggest that inherited fault zones were integral in accommodating uplift driven by plate flexure as a response to crustal unloading during glacial incision.
