Deep Ductile Shear Zone Facilitates Near‐Orthogonal Strike‐Slip Faulting in a Thin Brittle Lithosphere
Abstract Some active fault systems comprise near‐orthogonal conjugate strike‐slip faults, as highlighted by the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake sequences. In conventional Mohr‐Coulomb failure theory, orthogonal faulting requires a zero frictional coefficient (pressure‐insensitiv...
