Faults movement and development are the most challenging issues in tectonic geology. The classical theory and experimental studies have been carried out with a penetrative fault (2D state). However, ...

AMHERST, Mass. - Structural geologist Michele Cooke calls it the "million-dollar question" that underlies all work in her laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Amherst: what goes on deep in ...

A new study has simulated the formation of strike-slip faults in Earth’s crust, revealing new insight on how these earthquake-generating structures develop over time. The researchers investigated a ...
