Definitions, classification schemes for active faults, and their application
Z Wu, M Hu - Geosciences, 2024 - mdpi.com
Active faults are generally defined as faults that have moved in the past and will continue to
be active in the future. They are expected to cause deformation and potential disasters if …

The significance of fault reactivation on the Wilson cycle undergone by the northern South China Sea area in the last 60 Myr
Fault reactivation is a process that has long been described in nature and modelled in the
laboratory. Although many plate boundaries worldwide have undergone successive …

Major intracontinental strike-slip faults and contrasts in lithospheric strength
P Molnar, KE Dayem - Geosphere, 2010 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
A large fraction of major intracontinental strike-slip faults, defined here as those slip** at
rates of∼ 10 mm/yr or more, lie adjacent to relatively strong regions, such as oceanic …

[HTML][HTML] Nearby fault interaction within the double-vergence suture in eastern Taiwan during the 2022 Chihshang earthquake sequence
Nearby faults interact through stress changes induced by fault slip and viscoelastic flow. The
process is, however, often elusive and can be geometry-dependent and time-variant. Here …

Episodic bedrock strath terrace formation due to meander migration and cutoff
In order to explore mechanisms of bedrock terrace formation, we have developed a
numerical model that couples vertical river incision and meandering. Model results illustrate …

[LIVRE][B] Arc–continent collision: the making of an orogen
There is no one model, no paradigm, that uniquely defines arc–continent collision. Natural
examples and modelling of arc–continent collision show that there is a large degree of, and …

Spatiotemporal evolution of seismic and aseismic slip on the Longitudinal Valley Fault, Taiwan
Abstract The Longitudinal Valley Fault (LVF) in eastern Taiwan is a high slip rate fault (about
5 cm/yr), which exhibits both seismic and aseismic slip. Deformation of anthropogenic …
