Sentence examples for plane fault from inspiring English sources

The fault geometry is assumed to be a plane fault.

We consider a plane fault embedded in a shear zone between two tectonic plates moving at constant relative velocity v.

The fault geometry is assumed to be a plane fault, and we put each plane by fitting the surface breaks to the interferograms by trial and error.

Next, we compute the coseismic static strain change beneath station N.MKGH using the code of Okada (1992) and a rectangular plane fault model (20 km long and 14 km width) for the N. Nagano earthquake (quadrangle in Fig. 1).

(3)Here x is the shortest distance from the fault plane (fault distance); D is the focal depth (average depth of the fault plane); d corresponds to the type of earthquake (crustal: 0.00; interplate: 0.01; intraplate: 0.22).

Table 1 Parameters of the best-fit fault planes Fault no.

Also, the preferences for the solutions of the two possible planes (fault plane and auxiliary plane) were made by the tectonic properties and the knowledge of this region.

Structures include low-angle bedding-plane faults and drag folds that are indicative of bedding-plane faulting.

There also exist some structure faults such as stacking faults and planer faults in the nanowires.

dip -- The angle that a bedding plane or fault makes with the horizontal when measured perpendicular to the strike of the bedding plane or fault.

More detailed in situ investigations of active structures would be required to decide which of the nodal planes the actual fault plane is.
