Faults, especially Normal January 18, 2005
2
Free Write 10 Minutes How did you feel at Natural Bridges? Successful? Fear? On task? Bored? Confused? Did you feel clear on what you were being asked to do and why we asked you to do it?
3
Know These Terms Footwall vs. Hanging wall Fault plane vs. Fault zone vs. Shear zone Offset: –Normal vs. thrust/reverse vs. strike-slip vs. oblique –Heave and throw –True vs. apparent
4
Fault vs. Fault zone vs. Shear Zone
5
Micro to Macro Faults
6
Oblique Slip
7
They gotta terminate somewhere…
8
Normal Fault Terms Scarp Offset stratigraphy on maps and in drill cores Triangular Facets Offset streams Two models - Horsts and Grabins Termination
9
Outcrop Patterns of Faults
10
Drill Core Patterns of Faults
11
Outcrops of Scarps
12
Atila Ayden at long, small offset normal fault.
13
Length Vs. Offset of faults
14
Grabin Shape Models
15
Space Problem Illustrated
16
Space Problem - Rollover Anticlines
17
Normal Fault Folds - Roll-over Anticlines and Synclines
18
Detachment Faults
19
Normal fault scarp with indurated breccia Breccia on normal fault. Quaternary Klamath Lake Ore. Note colluvial deposit against fault scarp. Smoother areas of fault show finer gouge that has not been weathered out from between breccia-size fragments.
20
Normal Scarp in the Andes (Glenn Wallace)
21
Slickenlines on hanging wall. Note brecciated textures above and below slickenlined gouge face.
22
Indurated breccia on detachment surface. Note coarse lineation parallel to pen.
23
Tectonic Environments of Normal Faulting Continental Rifting Oceanic Spreading Ridges - Mid Ocean Basins Sedimentary Basins - Compaction and gravitational collapse Pull-apart basins - TRANSTENSION
24
Continent Rifting
25
Continental regional extension - Basin and Range is unique.
26
B&R topography
27
Flatirons (triangular facets)
28
Detachment surface in Whipple Mtns. Gneissic basement complex below. Young volcanic rocks and scraps of basement above.
29
Cross Section by Eric Frost, San Diego State University
30
Ridges of the World
31
Mid- Atlantic Ridge
32
Sedimentary Basins Gravitational Shelf Collapse
33
Sample Seismic Line
36
A word about transtension
37
