| 31. | The alteration of the Pacific Plate s motion caused a left-lateral strike-slip fault to form at the Pacific-Antarctic Boundary.
|
| 32. | They also form where two segments of a strike-slip fault overlap, and the relay zone between the segments experiences transtension.
|
| 33. | Both are strike slip faults nearly 1, 000 miles long, storing tremendous energy generated at the confluence of tectonic plates.
|
| 34. | The "'geology of Chile "'is a result of the Andean and preceding Nazca and Antarctic Plates or shallow strike-slip faults.
|
| 35. | It was during the Miocene, that these strata were translated to their present position by movement along detachment and strike-slip faults.
|
| 36. | It has the characteristics of a strike-slip fault, in which one huge chunk of land slides by another one, she said.
|
| 37. | During the Oligocene to Miocene, many of the basement faults were reactivated by the strike-slip faults during the Late Cretaceous inversion.
|
| 38. | This suggests that the OWL was once a strike-slip fault, possibly a continental margin, along which terranes moved from the southeast.
|
| 39. | Farther north and east, the ANS was affected by the formation of the great NW-SE trending Najd system of strike-slip faults.
|
| 40. | Four of the region's known strike-slip faults and one additional newly discovered normal fault all broke the surface during the earthquake.
