COMPLEXES FILLING STRIKE-SLIP FAULT ZONES

Abstract

The forms described here developed in fault zones when the rocks were affected by dynamic factors (pressure). The aim of this work is to classify faults according to their mechanics in accordance with the idea that they are divided into those generated by processes of shear and separation, i.e., into strike-slips and tension faults. When sheared, the rocks are affected by the dynamic load and transformed by it.
