Jan 18, 2012 · The San Andreas fault system is a 1300-km-long transform boundary that accommodates motion between the North American and Pacific Plates. From: Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones, 2019

Jan 1, 2019 · Abstract The San Andreas fault system is a 1300-km-long transform boundary that accommodates motion between the North American and Pacific Plates. New technologies and data reveal rich details about the present configuration of faults, distribution of strain, and associated seismic hazard on this complex network of faults. This contribution provides a brief …

The San Andreas Fault is a transform fault located in coastal California where plates slip sideways past each other, generating damaging earthquakes due to plate shear. AI generated definition based on: Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology (Third Edition), 2003

Jun 1, 2021 · Abstract In this article, we review our previous research for spatial and temporal characterizations of the San Andreas Fault (SAF) at Parkfield, using the fault-zone trapped wave (FZTW) since the middle 1980s. Parkfield, California has been taken as a scientific seismic experimental site in the USA since the 1970s, and the SAF is the target fault to investigate …

May 23, 2016 · Fault geometry is a consequence of tectonic evolution, and it provides important information on potential seismic hazards. We investigated fault geometry and its properties in Parkfield, California on the basis of local seismicity and seismic velocity residuals refined by an adaptive-velocity hypocentral-parameter inversion method.

Jun 15, 2000 · Crustal structure along a 140 km long profile across the San Andreas Fault (SAF) in southern California was imaged by stacking teleseismic P – S converted phases recorded by a dense, short-period seismic array.

Dec 1, 2009 · The south central San Andreas Fault (SAF; Fig. 1) is manifest at the surface by some of the most well preserved tectonic geomorphology at 10s to 1000s of meter scale in the world (Fig. 2; e.g., Wallace, 1975, Wallace and Schulz, 1983, Wallace, 1991). The troughs, ridges, sags, and offset channels along the zone have developed by the interaction of repeated slip …

Jul 19, 2004 · These studies show that the San Andreas fault plane is vertical below 2 km depth, bounding the southwest edge of the imaged fault-zone conductor (FZC). Thus, in the region of study, the San Andreas fault acts both as a conduit for along-strike fluid flow and a barrier for fluid flow across the fault.

Feb 15, 2013 · Abstract To investigate the source of volatiles and their relationship to the San Andreas Fault System (SAFS), 18 groundwater samples were collected from wells near the Big Bend section of the SAFS in southern California and …
