Fault system evolution in the Earth’s crust, in scaled experiments and in numerical models : deaf STEM 🧏♀️🦻🏻👩🔬 : she/her
How do releasing bends evolve in weaker crust? Lots of sinistral cross faults!! (compare to previous post)

Development of an experimental releasing bend shows significant strain partitioning on faults.

If you have been wondering how strike-slip faults evolve in the presence of pre-existing weaknesses, wonder no more. We got you!
Yup, the early slip along the weaknesses increase strike-slip fault roughness, just like you thought.
(Check out the cute ephemeral sinistral connector fautls in red!)

Sometimes when things get tough, I like to watch strike-slip faults grow.
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
