Slip Partitioning in the Basin and Range

斜辐合带或斜辐合带内的断层滑动可划分为独立但共存和共面走滑和倾滑断层。这项工作在预测沿给定断层带可能发生的震动类型方面对地震危险具有重要意义，即垂直与水平地面加速度。该项目还将验证这样一种观点，即共面断层和倾滑断层和走滑断层共存需要局部应力场发生快速变化。这一建议将记录沿沃克巷带和西部盆地和山脉省断层的滑动划分的位置和特征。

Fault slip within zones of oblique convergence or divergence may be partitioned on separate but coexisting and coplanar strike-slip and dip- slip faults. This work has major implications for earthquake hazards in terms of predicting the kinds of shaking may be expected along a given fault zone, i.e., vertical vs. horizontal ground accelerations. This project will also test the notion that the coexistence of coplanar and coexisting dip- and strike-slip faults require that rapid changes occur in the local stress field. This proposal will document the location and character of slip partitioning along faults of the Walker Lane belt and western Basin and Range Province.
