Research advances on transfer zones in rift basins and their …
2023年7月1日 · The types of transfer and accommodation zones are also subdivided according to the relative trend relationships of normal faults (same and reverse direction), the mechanical features of the transfer zones (left and right lateral), and …
Transfer zone - Wikipedia
Synthetic transfer zones must have major normal faults dipping in the same direction. This includes relay ramps. Relay ramps have been studied within the East African Rift system (Lake Malawi) and the Gulf of Suez rift system.
Propagation, interaction and linkage in normal fault systems
2002年7月1日 · Transfer zones that occur at oversteps between normal faults in map view are described in Section 3. Oversteps and bends along normal faults are commonly visible on seismic sections and in cliff exposures.
Transfer zones normal and oblique to rift trend: Examples from …
Transfer structures, including those normal and oblique to the major faults, compartmentalized the basin into segments of distinctive character. East-west transfer faults, perpendicular to the basin trend, were active throughout the rift stage of basin development and are recognized only in the northernmost onshore part of the Perth Basin ...
(PDF) Transfer zones in the East African Rift System and their ...
1990年8月1日 · A high abundance of overlapping transfer zones occur in the East African rift where extension is low and large-scale cross faults (photo-transform faults?) are uncommon.
Structural characteristics and genetic mechanism of transfer zones …
2023年6月5日 · This paper identifies for the first time cross faults in the transfer zones of the Xihu sag, which would have significant implication for understanding the structural features, tectonic development and petroleum accumulation of the Xihu sag.
This transfer of displacement along a set of faults is normally gradual, a typical characteristic of a relay structure or accommodation zone (Rosendahl 1987; Morley et al. 1990; Morley 1999a).
Characteristics of transfer zones under the influence of pre …
2024年5月11日 · Results indicate that the development and evolution of the transfer zone was controlled by the interaction between pre-existing faults and regional stress transformation. The intense rifting of the main faults of the transfer zone controlled the development of source rocks and fault-controlled slope break paleogeomorphology.
Controls on the Geometry of Transfer Zones in the Suez Rift and ...
2002年6月1日 · Abstract. Two main types of transfer zones are mapped in the Suez rift and the northwestern Red Sea. These are transfer zones between individual faults
Transfer zones in extensional basins: their structural style and ...
1993年12月1日 · Intrabasin transfer zones range from relay ramps separating adjacent en echelon normal faults to discrete fault jogs. Intrabasin transfer zones commonly act as a conduit for local sediment transport, but have minimal effect on basin-scale stratigraphy.
