Fault from plane and rake

Usage

Fault_from_rake(p, rake)

Arguments

p

plane object

rake

Angle in degrees in the range −180° and 180°

Value

"fault" object

Details

Rake is used to describe the direction of fault motion with respect to the strike (measured anticlockwise from the horizontal, up is positive; values between −180° and 180°):

  • left-lateral strike slip: rake near 0°

  • right-lateral strike slip: rake near 180°

  • normal: rake near −90°

  • reverse/thrust: rake near +90°

Examples
