2017年11月27日 · In conventional studies, two distinct kinds of flower structures have been identified based on differences in their internal structural architecture: (1) negative flower structures characterized by synforms and normal separations and (2) positive flower structures characterized by antiforms and reverse separations.

2017年1月3日 · Transpressional (positive) and transtensional (negative) flower structures. The circle with an “X” indicates the block is moving the block is moving away from the viewer, while the dot in the circle indicates the block is moving towards the viewer. A bend in the fault plane creates these structures.

flower structure « Back to Glossary Index A small area along a strike-slip or transform fault with branching structures of transpression / transtension , causing local hills or valleys.

1. n. [Geology] Folded structures associated with strike-slip faults. In areas where strike-slip faults occur in converging crust, or transpression, rocks are faulted upward in a positive flower structure. In areas of strike-slip faulting in diverging crust, or transtension, rocks drop down to form a

Flower structures are identified by their unique internal fault and fold architecture, by their association with a straight and throughgoing zone of deformation, and by their lack of a consistent sense of separation or regional upthrown side.

2017年3月21日 · Flower structures created by strike-slip faults. Depending on the relative movement in relation to the bend in the fault, flower structures can create basins or mountains.

2021年5月21日 · Flower structure refers to the cross-sectional view of duplexes. In positive flower structures (also called palm tree structures), the displacement is predominantly reverse (transpressional); in transtensional environments the displacement is normal dip slip in cross-section – these are negative flower structures or tulip structures. However ...

Two seismic profiles and a structure map from the Andaman Sea illustrate several characteristics of divergent wrench faults and negative flower structures, and demonstrate important criteria for identifying these zones.

This flower structure formed in the Miocene Peach Spring Tuff of western Arizona. Flower structures occur when strike-slip faults occur in converging crust. The rocks are faulted upward and in cross section resemble the petals of a flower.
