The Dead

A newly discovered active small-scale pull-apart (Mor structure), located in the western part of the Dead Sea Basin, shows recent basin-parallel extension and strike-slip faulting, and offers a rare view of pull-apart internal structure. The Mor structure is bounded by N–S-trending strike-slip faults, and cross-cut by low-angle, E–W-trending normal faults. The geometry of this pull-apart suggests that displacement between the two stepped N–S strike-slip faults of the Mor structure is transferred by the extension associated with the normal faults. The continuing deformation in this structure is evident by the observation of at least three deformation episodes between 50 ka and present. The calculated sinistral slip-rate is 3.5 mm/yr over the last 30 000 years. This slip rate indicates that the Mor structure overlies the currently most active strike-slip fault within the western border of the Dead Sea pull-apart. The Mor structure is an example of a small pull-apart basin developed within a larger pull-apart. This type of hierarchy in pull-apart structures is an indication for their ongoing evolution.

Abstract Habitable buildings can be protected from surface fault rupture by establishing structure “setback zones” similar in purpose to legally mandated zones in California and Utah. But post-earthquake surveys of offset and warped linear cultural features, believed to have been straight prior to the event, demonstrate that potentially damaging inelastic strains or off-fault deformation can extend tens of meters beyond the principal slip zone of strike-slip surface fault ruptures. Setback zones designed to also mitigate off-fault deformation are likely to be prohibitively wide, indicating the need for structural and geotechnical engineering solutions to accommodate the potentially damaging strains within adequate design buffers. This study analyzes nine strike-slip surface fault ruptures between 1906 and 2014 and develops a simplified procedure to quantify off-fault deformation based on earthquake magnitude and distance from the principal slip zone of strike-slip faults.

Definition Of

Composition and structural evolution of the Maksutovo metamorphic complex in the its northern part has been examined. The early folds 77) plunging in the SE direction have been established to be developed only in the rocks of the Maksutovo metamorphic complex. The problem of the definition of the geodynamic nature of the 7Л deformation stage, marked by the folds 77), has not been solved yet. Tectonic inclusions of the metamorphic rocks adjacent to the western border of the Main Uralian Thrust without traces of 7Л deformation stage must not be considered as parts of the Maksutovo metamorphic complex. 7Л1 deformation stage expressed in formation of thrusts and 77. west vergent folds is connected with late Paleozoic continental collision. The third stage of deformation 7JIII is marked by development of 77) folds with steep hinges associated with post collision strike slip movements
