Moving westward closer to the central segments though, a transition of the fault type was becoming apparent, where an almost equal distribution of reverse fault mechanisms were observed as the strike-slip type.
22.
When a listric fault, which increases in dip upwards, reactivates the uppermost part of the fault may be too steep and new reverse faults typically develop in the footwall of the existing fault.
23.
It is a buried reverse fault _ buried because it does not reach the surface, and reverse because when movement occurs, the top layer of the plate slides up over the bottom layer.
24.
The uplift of the range dates to the Laramide orogeny, about 70 to 50 million years ago, when compressive forces produced high-angle reverse faults on both north and south sides of the present mountain range.
25.
The San Andreas Fault system is similarly complex as it moves through the San Gorgonio Pass, with associated oblique / reverse faults that are actively uplifting San Gorgonio Mountain, the tallest peak in southern California.
26.
The ending of subduction has been linked to evidence that the Main Zagros Reverse Fault is no longer active, suggesting that further deformation is occurring by distributed deformation of the leading edge of the Arabian Plate.
27.
Though these faults have been traced for only a little ways, the southeast striking anticlines they are associated with continue as far as Riffe Lake, near reverse faults, they probably result from northeast directed regional compression.
28.
The "'Tacoma Fault "', just north of the city of Tacoma, Washington, is an active east & ndash; west striking north dipping reverse fault with approximately 35 miles ( 56 km ) of identified surface rupture.
29.
Anderson was the first to utilize conjugate fault systems in interpreting paleostress, including all kinds of conjugate faults ( normal, reverse, strike-slip and oblique, which is the combination of strike-slip and normal or reverse faults ).
30.
The structural framework in the northeastern Yilgarn craton was largely shaped by transpression that led to the development of folds, reverse faults, sinistral strike-slip movement on NNW-trending regional shear zones, followed by regional folding and shortening.
