5. Announcements Mihai's lectures are available on web Field trip during lab this week Posta-Quemada fold exercise- due Wed in lecture Nov. 13: Draft of fault paper due in lecture!

6. Strike-slip fault systems (D&R: 357-371) 1. Tectonic settings and significance 2. Geometries 3. Active strike-slip faults- EQs! 4. mineralization + petroleum

7. At the scale of plate tectonics, transform (strike-slip) plate boundaries are subordinate to convergent and divergent plate margins- but they play a critical role

8. oceanic (ridge-ridge) transform faults, revisited

9. Continental strike-slip faults- the San Andreas

10. The Alpine fault in New Zealand transfers slip between two subduction zones (trench-trench transform) What is the sense of slip?

11. Major active continental strike-slip faults in Asia

12. tectonic extrusion or escape hypothesis

13. Strike-slip faults can transfer slip between different thrust or extensional systems

14. Strain can be partitioned into different styles of fault systems- analyze with vector diagrams

15. Strain partitioning in oblique convergent margin settings

16. Fault traces are rarely straight- they can curve, branch, or be arranged en echelon. This leads to a wide variety of strike-slip related deformation

17. Transtension in releasing bends may lead to development of sag ponds and pull-apart basins

18. Restraining bends and transpressional deformation- folds and thrusts

19. The San Andreas bend near Los Angeles: thrusting related to strike-slip faulting

20. Many strike-slip fault systems are characterized by faults that converge downward and form flower structures compressional setting: "positive" or "palm tree" flower structure extensional setting: "negative" or "tulip" flower structure

21. Some flower structures look like duplexes turned on their side- strike-slip duplexes

23. Riedel shears, revisited- especially common in strike-slip fault systems R: synthetic Riedel shear R': antithetic Riedel shear P: synthetic shear, subordinate to R and R' or absent

24. Altyn Tagh fault, China

25. summary of strike-slip-related deformation

26. What is important about strike-slip faults and why do we care? 1. Many active strike-slip faults are associated with high slip rates, major earthquakes, and lithospheric plate boundaries Big faults yield big quakes + lots of people = trouble! e.g., San Andreas fault, Anatolian fault in Turkey, strike-slip faults in Asia

29. Significance of strike-slip fault systems for oil

30. Many Archean and Phanerozoic mineral deposits (especially gold) are associated with zones of strike-slip deformation

42. Important terminology/concepts ridge-ridge and trench-trench transform faults concept of continental extrusion or escape strike-slip faults as transfer faults strain partitioning oblique convergence releasing vs. restraining bend transpression vs. transtension sag ponds and pull-apart basins flower structures strike-slip duplexes right-stepping vs. left-stepping fault arrays folds in strike-slip zones Riedel shears
