STRIKE-SLIP AND OBLIQUE-SLIP TECTONICS

TECTONICS STRIKE-SLIP faults jpb- 2017 173 STRIKE-SLIP AND OBLIQUE-SLIP TECTONICS Strike slip faulting is a common mode of deformation in both continental and oceanic crust and occurs at a wide range of scales. Strike slip systems are relatively narrow and subvertical wrench zones along which two adjacent blocks move sideways, horizontally, parallel to the strike of the fault zone. For example, they are produced at transform plate boundaries where plates horizontally slide past one another. There is no net addition or subtraction of area to the crust. It is classically accepted that strike slip faulting occurs in a triaxial stress field in which the maximum and minimum principal stresses 1 and 3 lay in the horizontal plane and the intermediate principal stress 2 is vertical.

Tip lines are isolated ends of fault segments. ... Because slip is horizontal and parallel to the commonly straight fault trace, the kinematics and ... wavy shape is attributed to linkage of alternating fault-segments through time. Linkage .
