Perspectives on the tectonics of major strike-slip fault zones

Strike-slip faults, steeply dipping structures marked by dominantly horizontal motion, occur in diverse setting in orogenic belts and define many of the world’s transform plate boundaries. Understanding their behavior offers insight into surface and subsurface deformation, the formation of mountain belts and sedimentary basins, and seismic hazards.

Strike-Slip Tectonics: Major Fault Zones in the Eastern Mediterranean and Asia presents a state-of-the-art perspective on the processes that lead to major earthquakes and the changing landscapes along strike-slip fault zones across this tectonically active region.

Volume highlights include:

Studies of plate movements and kinematic and dynamic analysis along transform faults
Case studies from the Anatolian and Asia-Pacific regions and the Himalayan system
Advances in methods and techniques for seismic mapping and simulation
Applications for seismic hazard assessments, urban planning, policymaking, and research in academia and industry

This book is one of a set of three in the collection Tectonic Processes: A Global View.

The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
