Fault (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geology, a fault or fault line is a planar fracture in rock in which the rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side. Large faults within the Earth's c...

"In the past, no one looked at the contrast between the two sides of a strike slip fault," says Dr. Kevin P. Furlong, professor of geosciences. "These faults have always been modeled as if both sides were equal by definition.";

The public, too, is at fault, like lemmings voting along party lines, or ethnicity, or neighborhood friendships rather than where candidates stand on the issues -- if the public even knows what the issues are, if the candidates have even formulated a position and if we are lucky to have them aired.

This valley is remarkably straight because the San Andreas fault runs down its center. The San Andreas is a classic ``Strike Slip'' fault: the two sides (for the most part) move past each other horizontally.

Near-source ground motion: Strike-slip fault ... Red lines will display the ground surface. The "observer" is standing above the north tip of the fault (green dot) looking towards the south along the fault (light blue arrow). The motion is exaggerated by a factor of 200, and the color scale displays the particle velocity...

The geometry of the strike-slip fault roughly matches the combined fault segments that ruptured in the June 1992 Landers event. ... The thick lines at the bottom indicate the position of the fault surface and the dot identifies the epicenter...

Figure 10. Structural contour map, on top of pre-Pennsylvanian strata, at Cushing field, south of the Jennings feature and on the same Whitetail strike-slip fault trend (modified from Weirich, 1929). It is a high relief, pop-up structure with essentially the same history as the Oklahoma City, Garber,

Figure: Open fractures (O.F.) angles predicted from the combined effect of the main fault rupture and secondary fault (S.F.) rupture along the strike direction. Solid lines in panel (a) represent the angle expected for O.F. ... Most earthquakes in the South Iceland seismic zone occur on N-S trending dextral strike-slip faults.
