On a " strike slip " fault such as the San Andreas, one side of the fault releases seismic strain by abruptly jolting sideways past the other.
12.
The dominating feature of the fracture zone is the 150 km long Blanco Ridge, which is a high-angle right-lateral strike slip fault with some component of dip-slip faulting.
13.
On a larger scale, a zone between offset strike slip faults may have minor " en echelon " fault strands that accommodate the shearing motion induced in the region.
14.
The syntaxis on either side of the Himalaya are dominated by a strike slip fault zone, instead of a compressional thrust faulting, as in the rest of the orogen.
15.
Faulting shifts the ground in a vertical motion through reverse, normal or oblique strike slip faulting processes, this displaces the water above causing a tsunami ( Figure 1 ).
16.
The partitioning of strain occurs through the development of a strike slip or shear zone ( shown with red arrows ) across the actively deforming region ( brown ).
17.
A viable method proposed to make room from ascending magma is a zone of lateral extension which can be found at mid ocean ridges, strike slip faults and dialational jogs.
18.
The formation is bounded on its edges by a series of high-angle strike slip faults, which have contained the Klondike Mountain Formation in a series of graben structures, such as the Republic Graben.
19.
The "'Septentrional-Orient fault zone "'( SOFZ ) is a system of coaxial left lateral-moving strike slip faults which runs along the northern side of the island of Hispaniola where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are located.
20.
We do not mean to suggest that an earthquake with simultaneous ruptures of thrust and strike slip is imminent . . . . Rather, the similarities are too great for the possibility of such an event to be ignored.
