In recent months, I’ve offered up a number of articles on the topic of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) in Louisiana.  ...

Earthquakes occur along fault lines between continental plates, where one plate is diving beneath another. Pressure builds between ... of the rocks in the fault zones along the plate interface.

A study looking at a small region in Japan has shown that the properties of fault zone rocks really matter ... where one plate is diving beneath another. Pressure builds between each plate ...

According to the Tunnel Seismic Prediction (TSP) - 303 Plus report, prepared by Amberg Tech AG, a tunnelling surveying business in January 2020, the fault zone was located between 13.88 km (13,882 ...

The Sichuan Basin is China’s largest natural gas-producing basin and presents significant challenges for deep oil and gas exploration due to its complex geological conditions. Recent studies in the ...

Abstract: We review recent geophysical insights into the physical properties of fault zones at all depths in the crust and subcrustal lithosphere. The fault core zone, where slip occurs, is thin (tens ...

The asperities do not significantly control fault movement during the unlocking and failure of the healed faults, but only following the peak axial stress as the faults slide and damage zones develop.
