Sentence examples for reversal fault from inspiring English sources

The source is inferred to be a reversal fault located about 3 km off the southern Izu Peninsula that is 25 km long and 13 km wide (strike = 250°, dip = 52° to the north) and slip of 2.7 m and has generated a Mw 7 class earthquake.

The authors also noted that the most recent event coincided with a large historical earthquake in the southern Izu Peninsula in AD 1729 (Usami 1975) and that the fault appeared to be located offshore, because onshore reversal faults are not known to occur in that region.

Philip Rutnam, the permanent secretary, has told staff they must come clean and move on, and accept that the reversal was the fault of officials.

phase reversal amplitude shift keying.

Two biostratigraphic age reversals occur in the fault zone and are consistent with thrust faulting along the megasplay fault.

The clockwise rotation of SE Asia coincided with a reversal in the sense of fault movement along the Mae Ping and Three Pagoda faults in the early Miocene, when these faults changed from left-lateral to right-lateral NW-SE-striking faults.

Moreover, the concentrated core snubber is ineffective in limiting the voltage reversal caused by internal insulation fault, increasing the risk of cascade failures in components like HV bushing and transmission line.

Morley (2007) discusses the late Cenozoic history of reversals in slip direction on the Mae Chan fault and inversions recorded in the sediments and structures of the basin.

The occurrence of these low-angle normal fault events is likely to reflect the reversal of shear stress due to overshooting of slip during the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake.

Alternatively, Sibson ([2013]) interpreted this stress reversal associated with the Tohoku-Oki earthquake by the fault valve model (Sibson, [1992]), where the pore fluid pressure is built up before the earthquake, and this lowers the effective normal stress and results in seismic rupture on the fault plane.

A series of environmental reversals by the Bush administration has highlighted an old fault line in the party that is both geographic and ideological and shaken many of the party's Northeastern moderates.
