Part of The Shear Zone Channel. Join Rob as he visits the Clashach Fault, a structure on the coast of the Moray Firth in NE Scotland. It's a great example of deformation developed in porous sandstones and gives an insight into structural geology in sedimentary basins.

Glad you enjoyed the film!

Must take a trip to see this.

@robbutler2095 Год назад

It's great - and easy to get around....

The second profile include both normal faulting and reverse faulting, could there exist strike slip faulting? Maybe three stress fields can exist in the same profile at the same time.

@robbutler2095 Год назад

Well - there's no indication of strike-slip - the fault plane striations run more or less down-dip (pitch/rake c 90 degrees). I interpret the reverse sense offset on that small fault in the W side of the cove as part of a conjugate with max compressive stress parallel to the fault dip direction... so actually part of the same normal faulting - with the corollary that the fault plane could not support significant shear stresses (so v weak at the time) ... Not much macroscopic evidence for inversion....
