Sentence examples for parallel to the fault from inspiring English sources
Fault veins are mostly parallel to the fault.
The orientation of faster S-wave polarization is parallel to the fault strike (e.g., Zhang and Schwartz, 1994).
We prepare a volume of 114 km (parallel to the fault slip and dip directions) and 350 km (perpendicular to the fault slip and strike directions).
Strike-slip fault motion did not cause significant ground rotation whose axis was directed parallel to the fault strike (e.g., Okada 1992).
In addition, maximum displacement of the normal to the fault component occurs at different times when compared to that parallel to the fault component.
Note that the gauges at these four locations measure only one component of the strain tensor, parallel to the fault surface.
These facts suggest that cracks with a high density aligned parallel to the faults of the earthquake swarm in the focal area.
The fact that Φ averages at T.OSS and for Group-I at KZR nearly parallel the direction of each focal alignment beneath the stations suggests that cracks aligned parallel to the faults of the earthquake swarm were distributed inside the swarm focal region.
In the shallowest part of the model, at a period of 10 s (Figure 11a), the anisotropy between the RRSZ and Song Ma Fault is nearly parallel to the faulting, whereas the anisotropy in the western part of the model is almost perpendicular to the RRSZ.
Notably in the Cleebourg outcrop (Fig. 6a), within fault zone exposure, the orientation of the main fracture set seems to be layer specific, i.e. in layers 1 and 2 the fractures are sub-parallel to the fault, whereas in layer 3 the dominant fracture orientation is about 30 40° rotated clockwise compared to layers 1 and 2 and the fault (Fig. 7).
The small-scale normal faults parallel to the reverse fault planes that occurred along with the raising of the hanging wall, and shortening, were determined by the tectonic model of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in the Tibet Plateau Chinaa) (You-Li et al., 2010).
