Be able to tell me where the youngest and oldest rock units are in each of these formations and know what these features look like in map view (Note to Self: it should be the opposite, syncline is on top while anticline is on bottom)
5 days ago · In this study, slip data (strike and dip of the fault plane, strike rake angle of striation, and sense of displacement) of minor faults distributed on the ground surface were collected for the source area of the 1984 Western Nagano Earthquake, where a concealed active fault is known.
3 days ago · By default the Python script will generate a finite-element mesh with triangular cells and save it to the file mesh_tri.msh.You can view the mesh using Gmsh either by using the --gui command line argument when you generate the mesh or running Gmsh from the command line and opening the file.
5 days ago · At this location, the CASIE21 data reveal the presence of a discontinuity in plate geometry centered on a fault in the lower plate under the shelf that is on strike with an active fault documented on the incoming plate within the Rogue PSZ . The local ~20-km-wide and 2-km-high shoaling of the crust bounding this fault suggests buckling of the ...
