Fault from plane and rake

Usage

Fault_from_rake(p, rake, ...)

Arguments

p

object of class "Plane"

rake

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

...

optional arguments passed to Fault()

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

fr <- Fault_from_rake(Plane(c(120, 120, 100), c(60, 60, 50)), c(84.7202, -10, 30))
plot(fr, col = 1:3)


fr2 <- Fault_from_rake(Plane(c(90, 90, 90), c(80, 40, 10)), c(10, 20, 90))
plot(fr2, col = 1:3)
