The relationship between maximum displacement (dmax) and fault length (L) has been
studied extensively, mainly in attempts to understand how fault geometry varies over …

Most of the Earth's crust is created along 60,000 km of mid-ocean ridge system. Here,
tectonic plates spread apart and, in doing so, gradually build up stress. This stress is …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

It is observed that the amount of displacement (d) on a fault is proportional to the mapped
trace length L. The exact form of the fault scaling relationship, ie d= f (L), is still a subject of …

A plane strain model for a fault is presented that takes into account the inelastic deformation
involved in fault growth. The model requires that the stresses at the tip of the fault never …

Relay ramps occur between normal fault segments that overstep in map view. The geometry
and evolution of exposure-scale relay ramps are described from the Somerset coast …

Veins formed in a variety of rock types and tectonic environments were measured at seven
field locations to determine a general scaling relationship between the length and opening …

Exceptionally well exposed normal faults within the Solite Quarry of the Dan River rift basin
range in length from a few millimetres to a few metres and are possibly the smallest visible …

The three-dimensional progressive development of orthogonal and oblique rift systems has
been simulated using scaled, analogue sandbox models. The orientation, α, of the zone of …

Understanding the structure and development of calderas is crucial for predicting their
behaviour during periods of unrest and to plan geothermal and ore exploitation. Geological …
