    Extractions: " Subduction-Related Fault Processes: Ancient and Active " The focus of my research is on the structure and mechanics of crustal fault zones in relation to the shallow earthquake source, combining information from geological field studies of active and ancient exhumed fault zones with theoretical rock mechanics, the materials science of rock deformation, and seismologically derived information on earthquake processes. Conceptual models of fault zones established in this manner have helped to place shallow earthquakes in the general context of crustal mechanics and have emphasised that earthquakes, through their role in accommodating crustal displacement, are inescapably part of structural geology In recent years, a growing interest in the coupling of fluid flow to faulting has led to research into stress-controlled structural permeability, relationships between tectonics and crustal fluid redistribution, and the dynamic processes involved in the formation of fault-hosted hydrothermal mineral deposits.

Collectively these structures exhibit a pattern that is more complicated than previous models of discrete domains of like-trending structures. The newly mapped faults differ in location and pattern from previously mapped faults, much as the recent Landers and Hector Mine fault ruptures diverged from previously mapped faults. Many faults strike north to northwest and express dextral offset, and a domain of east-striking faults, previously identified, is verified. However, northwest-striking dextral and east-striking sinistral faults are interleaved in complex patterns that indicate they are mutually active, and are not isolated in separate domains. These new patterns suggest large-scale reorganization that has not been recognized by previous geologic mapping.

Joint planes vary from 30 cm to more than a metre and the spacing increases with increasing bed thickness. Numerous closely spaced joints commonly occur close to faults and are parallel to them, suggesting a genetic relationship between the joints and faults. Joints in carbonate rocks have been commonly widened by solution. Joints are commonly filled by calcite with minor pyrite, barite, celestite, and gypsum ( Williams 1991 ). Precambrian rock formations form a complex pattern of joints and folds.

    Extractions: Careers Your Fault, My Fault, and the New Madrid Fault I N the earth, a fault is a line of fracture in the rocks where the two sides move by each other. The movement can be up, down or sideways, and it is caused by pressure and tension in the rock. When a sudden movement happens along one of these fault lines, an earthquake happens. A fault can be very small, it can be seen in a single quartz crystal, or it can be very long. The Great Rift Valley in east Africa is over 6000 miles long! California has a famous fault called the San Andreas fault, where the Pacific plate slips past the North American plate. Photos of the ground where faults occur show how rock beds have shifted over the years. Even the river channels get crinked when movement happens along a fault. Although California has more earthquakes, we've had bigger ones in the middle of the continent. Measuring earthquakes

    Extractions: Old fault exposed by roadcut near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania . Such faults are common in the folded Appalachians In geology faults are discontinuities (cracks) in the Earth's crust that are the result of differential motion within the crust. Faults are the source of many earthquakes that are caused by slippage vertically or laterally along the fault. The largest examples are at tectonic plate boundaries, but many small faults are known to exist that are far from active plate boundaries. The two sides of a fault are called the hangingwall and footwall . By definition, the fault always dips away from the footwall. Faults can be categorized into three groups: normal faults, transform (or strike-slip) faults and reverse (or thrust) faults Contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Normal (or detachment) fault

    Extractions: Overview T his course is designed to cover the fundamentals of "earthquake science" and the relevance of the scientific questions to society. Earthquakes are one of the most important natural hazards that, in extreme cases, can kill 100,000 of people from a single event. We will cover several different aspects of of earthquakes societal impacts. The first is how scientists and engineers asses earthquake hazard and risk. The second is seismology and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). You will need to be familiar with algebra and some very basic fundementals of geology.  The USGS's global earthquake hazard map (red colors = large hazard; white = low hazard). Black regions are where the USGS was not able to reliably estimate the earthquake hazard.

Time Line Geologic time, from the formation of the Earth at ~4.6 billion years ago to the present, is understood and represented by layered rocks throughout the world. By understanding the relative ages of layered and cross cutting rocks, and the fossils they contain, geologists have come up with a geologic time scale. The relative ages are cross-correlated with numerical ages derived from radioactive isotopes of elements contained in some of the geologic units. Using fossils and radiometric ages, geologists can compare the geologic strata of Montana with, say, the "type section" of Devonian rocks exposed in the Devon area of southern England.

It is a collection of the particular chemical elements that make it up. The elements form compounds or a mineral assemblage that usually occurs in crystalline form. The minerals make up the rock in a great variety of arrangements. In coarse grained rocks the minerals are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. In fine grained rocks the individual grains are so small that they can only be viewed with a magnifying glass or microscope. A rocks history begins with its birth. It may subsequently be deformed mechanically, become chemically and minerally changed, and moved laterally or vertically in response to external forces. Rock Type Igneous Any rock made by the cooling of magma. This origin is reflected in their texture which is like a mosaic of crystals. Igneous rocks are divided into two types. intrusive: rocks that were emplaced within rocks that surround them. They originated as hot magma that pushed it way into cracks and other openings. extrusive: rocks form form lava that flowed out of volcanoes or from volcanic ash that was released high into the air and fell back to the ground.
