Strike-slip faults produce little to no vertical offset between the two plates but significant lateral onset. In fact, type of faulting is the predominant fault type in western California such as ...

A relatively large dip-slip displacement was discovered at the site. The Futagawa strike-slip fault is a vertical break in the ground tracing a line southwest originating from Mount Aso. Share: ...

A study suggests that earthquakes on strike-slip faults can cause tsunamis in shallow bays even without an undersea landslide. Large tsunamis are generally attributed to earthquakes on normal and ...

During the midday Friday prayer hours on 28 March 2025, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck central Myanmar along the Sagaing Fault. With an epicenter close to Mandalay, the country's second-largest ...

On 28 March 2025, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar, becoming the most powerful in over a century. But what ...

Despite the San Andreas Fault being a strike-slip fault with primarily lateral movement, all strike-slip faults have a vertical component, albeit very small in comparison.

This region is globally recognised for seismic activity because it lies atop a major tectonic boundary, where the Indian ...

The most prominent newly-observed feature is the Shoreline Fault, a ~25 km-long vertical strike-slip fault running parallel to the coastline just offshore of Point Buchon.

On Sept. 28 of that year, a wave estimated to be 13 to 23 feet in height struck the provincial capital of Palu following a magnitude 7.5 earthquake that occurred along a strike-slip fault.

The geology team narrowed the fault zone to a 1,900-foot corridor crossing the pipeline route and estimated that a magnitude 8.5 could produce 20 feet of slip.

Clear images of the Newport-Inglewood fault currently go down only as far as 10 or 15 kilometers. Also interesting, Boles said, is that he didn’t find just one helium “anomaly” along the fault.

The video shows the fault slipped horizontally by 8.2 feet in only 1.3 seconds. The magnitude 7.7 event took place on March 28 along the Sagaing Fault with an epicenter near Myanmar’s second ...
