... of this), it extends 90 miles or more southeast, locally bent by thrusting from the northeast. It scissors near Castaic. Starting from this point its ancient vertical throw increases from nothing at the pivot to a figure in excess of 4 miles where it joins the great rift. There is some evidence southeast of Ridge...

... are reversed. This type of amplification/deamplification of the magnification factor will depend on the relative stiffnesses of the beam and the column, and the position of the point of connection of the scissor-jack on the beam. Additionally, the displacements due to the forces in the damper...

... there are strong force components normal to the fault plane, forcing the materials on opposite sides into contact. Such faults have provided notably effective seals against the further movement of oil and gas in a great many instances. The presence of scissors faults also constitutes evidence pointing toward...

... include three main tilted fault blocks, major and minor faults, hinge faults, and a scissors fault. Major valleys contain braided streams and stream-borne alluvium. A broad raised beach that emerged in postglacial times has countless strand lines. 1 Manuscript received June 30, 1970...

... to shot point 69, but between shot points 69 and 68, the records are poor and the data are confusing, although a pick as shown by the dashed line could be forced through on these heavily mixed records. When these time data are converted to dips and migrated as shown in the lower part of the figure...

... transverse streams during the main phases of basin evolution. Extension-parallel, scissor (hinge) faulting produced differential uplift and subsidence in the adjacent fault blocks, changed the direction of sediment transport and drainage patterns over short distances, and resulted in the local uplift...

North and south of the hinge point, the space problem associated with synclinall y folding 20,000 to 30,000 ft (6080 to 9120 m) of sediment...

... by manipulating prey along the dental surface. The higher this metric, the higher the range of bite forces possible due to differing mechanical advantages at work at different points along the dentition. Overall length of the lower jaw, measured from the back part of the blade to the anterior most point...

.... South of the junction there was simple subduction, not left-lateral slip as stated in points 5 and 8. This relative motion is not intuitive; it must be worked out with vector diagrams (e.g., see Atwater, 1970 , Fig. 16G) or deduced from careful work with paper and scissors. 1 Discussion...

... during crater formation along identified vertical scissors faults. Brecciation along the faults bounding rim segments created zones of enhanced subsurface fluid transport through the crater rim, potentially responsible for localized areas of aqueous alteration identified in outcrops near segment...

... stranger phenomenon related to faulting: a longitudinally tilted graben which rises into a horst between the same pair of bordering faults. Each fault is scissored in the same direction as the other, with a hinge point between the horst and graben ends of the intervening block. The hinge points...

... on discrete strips into which the cross-section is divided. The stresses are calculated by means of a bilinear elasto-plastic model. The solution keeps track of the points at which contact forces with the constraining walls are developed. Examples are worked out resulting in hysteretic cycles...

... fraction of their ultimate strength in shear. Characteristic attributes or the criteria for recognition of normal diagonal shears are the following. A vertical hole drilled through the fault plane encounters a loss of section equal to the amount of vertical displacement at the point where the fault...

... the noise output of the amplifier. A factor affecting the high-frequency response of the recording is the design of the pen. Our extremely simple design consists of a piece of 0.25-ram stainless steel shimstock cut in a wedge shape with scissors and bent at the end to form a point. Its resonant frequency...

... (~58°) of the Turpan-Hami block had taken place during the early Permian, with a scissor-style shrinking of the remnant Bogda marine basin in the meantime. This study provides a new perspective for understanding the tectonic evolution of the western Altaids. † [email protected] ; xuwei...

Along the Canol Road there are keystone and block faults, but no evidence of overthrusting was observed at any point during air reconnaissance of this general area, except in the extreme south, in the Nahanni Butte area, where Rocky Mountain conditions appear.
