A TEST OF THE OBLIQUE-RIFTING MODEL FOR TRANSFER ZONE DEFORMATION IN THE NORTHERN FEN-WEI RIFT: IMPLICATIONS FROM THE 1989 M 6.1 DATONG-YANGGAO EARTHQUAKE SWARM

Tectonophysical experiments show that the evolution of the Fen-Wei Rift is controlled by oblique rifting. A key characteristic of the model in our study is that the western and eastern borders of the transfer zone between the adjacent NEE-striking extensional basins tend to form right-lateral strike...
