Fault trace corrugation and segmentation as a measure of fault structural maturity

I Manighetti, A Mercier… - Geophysical Research …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
As faults grow over time and become more “mature,” some of their geometrical and
mechanical properties evolve, and these changes modify earthquake behavior. It is thus of …
