Recent geodynamics of major strike-slip zones

Abstract: Active strike-slip faults Historical seismicity Paleoseismicity Temporal variations of focal mechanisms of earthquakes Rates of accumulation of strike-slip deformation a b s t r a c t The subject of this study is strike-slip fault zones, where temporal variations of accumulation in strike-slip deformation complicate the standard process of deformation accumulation and release during strong earthquakes. These temporal variations are expressed in the El Ghab segment of the Dead Sea Transform zone (DST, Eastern M… Show more

“…Paleoseismic data suggest that the TFF produced a series of strong earthquakes in the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries, with potential coseismic lateral offsets of several meters (Korjenkov et al, ; Trifonov et al, ). Despite the dense catalog of radiocarbon dates, these published studies do not present stratigraphic relationships between the dated Quaternary units and the fault zones.…”

“…We reinvestigated the Kyldau valley where cumulative ridges and streams are offset from 12 to 250 m (Burtman et al, 1996;Korzhenkov, Rogozhin, et al, 2014;Trifonov et al, 2015). The only prior geochronological constraint in the area is a radiocarbon age of 3,670 ± 80 14 C years B.P.…”

“…Several studies (e.g. Burtman, 2012;Korzhenkov et al, 2014;Feld et al, 2015;Tibaldi et al, 2015) pointed out that the TFF is still active, with an average slip rate estimated at ~9-14 mm/a based on radiocarbon dating of terraces displaced by the fault (Burtman et al, 1996;Trifonov et al, 2015).…”

“…6). The ~700 km length of the fault is characterised by the typical features associated with paleoseismic deformation, including scarps, offset streams and drainage divides, as well as landslides (Burtman et al, 1987(Burtman et al, , 1996Trifonov et al, 1992Trifonov et al, , 2015Korjenkov et al, 2010Korjenkov et al, , 2012Korjenkov et al, , 2013Korzhenkov et al, 2014;Tibaldi et al, 2015;Rust et al, 2018). Nevertheless, modern seismic networks reveal only small and rare moderate seismicity along the fault zone, whereas GPS measurements do not provide any evidence of active deformation along the Talas-Fergana Fault, suggesting it is presently locked.…”
