Special Report: OzAurum Resources has received more high-grade gold results from RC drilling at the Cross Fault discovery within its Mulgabbie North project northeast of Kalgoorlie.

"While Turkey is well known for its earthquake-prone strike-slip faults, this study confirms for the first time that the Tuz Gölü Fault is an extensional fault, meaning the land on either side ...

Horizontal extensional movement refers to the relative discrete displacement between blocks in the extensional direction, causing horizontal elongation in the crustal profile. Horizontal extensional ...

Extensional strike-slip basins have unique structural features that influence both sub-sags and traps. Despite previous investigations into the extension-strike-slip fault system, there remains a gap ...

New Jersey experienced a 4.8 magnitude earthquake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Here is the science behind the cause and the Ramapo Fault.

Observational and modelling studies indicate that earthquake ruptures can jump between fault sections as large as ∼3 and ∼5 km for compressional and extensional offsets, respectively. Here, we compare ...

These fault zones are a result of movement of large portions of Earth’s crust, or tectonic plates, relative to each other. One zone includes the Anatolian Plate, which makes up most of Turkey.

Most of the identified knickpoints are related to the locations of mapped faults. Correlations of these data indicate that recent movements of the Fansipan and Tule mountain ranges are dominated by ...
