  2. Paleostress inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleostress_inversion

    Anderson [6] [7] was the first to utilize conjugate fault systems in interpreting paleostress, including all kinds of conjugate faults (normal, reverse and strike-slip). Regional conjugate fault can be better understood by comparison to a familiar rock mechanics experiment, i.e. the Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) Test.

  3. Anderson's theory of faulting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_Theory_of_Faulting

    Lateral strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults occur when the blocks slide against each other laterally, parallel to the plane. The direction of the slip can be observed from either side of the fault, with the far block moving to the left indicating a left lateral slip, and the converse indicating a right lateral slip. See animation here [5]

  4. Strike-slip tectonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike-slip_tectonics

    Strike-slip tectonics or wrench tectonics is a type of tectonics that is dominated by lateral (horizontal) movements within the Earth's crust (and lithosphere).Where a zone of strike-slip tectonics forms the boundary between two tectonic plates, this is known as a transform or conservative plate boundary.

  5. Transpression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpression

    Simple model for transpression: strike-slip zone with an additional and simultaneous shortening across the zone. Also induces vertical uplift. In geology, transpression is a type of strike-slip deformation that deviates from simple shear because of a simultaneous component of shortening perpendicular to the fault plane. This movement ends up ...

  6. 1980 Azores Islands earthquake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Azores_Islands_earthquake

    The 1980 earthquake was the result of movement along a northwest to southeast trending strike-slip fault. [3] After aftershocks from the quake had concluded, a study took place, identifying focal solutions for these small events. The type of faulting responsible for these shocks was similar to that of previous earthquakes around the Azores.

  7. Serial Line Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Line_Internet_Protocol

    The Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) [1] [2] is an encapsulation of the Internet Protocol [a] designed to work over serial ports and router connections. It is documented in RFC 1055 . On personal computers, SLIP has largely been replaced by the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), which is better engineered, has more features, and does not ...

  9. Latin conjugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_conjugation

    The ancient Romans themselves, beginning with Varro (1st century BC), originally divided their verbs into three conjugations (coniugationes verbis accidunt tres: prima, secunda, tertia "there are three different conjugations for verbs: the first, second, and third" (), 4th century AD), according to whether the ending of the 2nd person singular had an a, an e or an i in it.
