Tectonics, fracturing of rock, and erosion

P Molnar, RS Anderson… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
We argue that by fracturing rock, not by raising it relative to base level, tectonics plays its
most important role in causing rapid incision of valleys and rapid erosion of hillslopes …

Normal faults, normal friction?

C Collettini, RH Sibson - Geology, 2001 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Debate continues as to whether normal faults may be seismically active at very low dips (δ<
30°) in the upper continental crust. An updated compilation of dip estimates (n= 25) has …
