Ganymede exhibits two geologically distinct terrains known as dark and light (grooved) terrain. ![]() What causes an icy fault to slip? Investigating strike-slip failure conditions on Ganymede at Dardanus and Tiamat Sulcus.Ĭameron, M. Based on estimation of strike-slip offsets, the paleogeography of Paleogene basins is refined their initial contours, which have been disturbed and fragmented by slipping motion strike-slip displacement, have been reconstructed. The effect of strike-slip faulting on the deep-seated and near-surface structure of the Earth's crust is considered. ![]() Comparative analysis of structure, age, and amplitude of strike-slip fault segments is carried out. The notions about strike-slip dislocations in the structure of the Crimea-Kopet Dagh System are considered. ![]() The strike-slip fault that dissects the sedimentary cover and consolidated crust is rooted in subcrustal layers of the mantle. It is shown that the Crimea, Caucasus, and Kopet Dagh fold systems make up a single whole unified by a lithospheric strike-slip fault zone of concentrated dislocations. The slickensides, subsidiary fractures, cataclastic zone, fracture-controlled drainage pattern, right lateral stream deflections, deformation in the Quaternary unit observing in the seismic reflection sections, and seismicity of the region all indicate that the IB is an active right lateral strike-slip fault. The IB has also a regional tectonic importance as a boundary fault between the contractional and the extensional regions in central Anatolia considering that it is the southern limit of the contraction-related structures in the west-southwest of Ankara.Ĭrimea-Kopet Dagh zone of concentrated orogenic deformations as a transregional late collisional right-lateral strike-slip fault The right lateral strike-slip Ilıca branch (IB is an approximately 100-km-long fault and it is composed of several segments in a northwest-southeast direction. Its southeastern part is generally divided into three branches, namely the Ilıca, Yeniceoba, and Cihanbeyli from north to south, respectively. It separates the west  Anatolian extensional province and the strike-slip induced northwest central Anatolian contractional area in the Anatolian Block. ![]() THE ILICA BRANCH OF THE SOUTHEASTERN ESKIÅžEHIR FAULT ZONE: AN ACTIVE RIGHT LATERAL STRIKE-SLIP STRUCTURE IN CENTRAL ANATOLIA, TURKEYĭirectory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)įull Text Available The EskiÅŸehir Fault Zone is one of the prominent neotectonic structures of Turkey. If this conclusion is correct, the east- striking left- lateral faults and the crustal blocks between them are rotating clockwise at 1-2 deg/Myr, the east-west dimension of eastern Tibet is shortening at 10-20 mm/yr, and little material is moving eastward out of India's path into Eursasia by left- lateral simple shear. It is also concluded here that the image of lateral transport on such faults, known also as continental escape, extrusion, or expulsion, is an illusion, and that instead the left- lateral slip on east- striking plates in eastern Tibet is a manifestation of north- striking right-lateral simple shear. Right-lateral shear and rotation as the explanation for strike-slip faulting in eastern Tibetīounds are placed here on the rate of rotation proposed by Cobbold and Davy (1988) for the major strike-slip faults in the eastern Tibetan Plateau.
