Surface fault ruptures (Topical Term)

Work cat.: 17 Ağustos 1999 İzmit depremi yüzey kiriği = Surface rupture associated with the 17 August 1999 İzmit earthquake, 2003: pref. (surface ruptures developed during earthquakes) p. 29 (the length of the rupture formed during the Aug. 17 İzmit earthquake is about 150 km; this book includes surface rupture maps, slip amounts, and visual records such as sketches and photographs) p. 41 (Associated with the 1999 İzmit earthquake, a 150 km-long surface fault with a predominant right-lateral displacement of up to 4.9 m ruptured from the west as far as onshore of the western Gulf of İzmit to the east as far as western Düzce Basin, along the northern strand of the western North Anatolian Fault Zone ... The rupture was continuously traceable from near Gölcük on the eastern Gulf of İzmit toward the east for approximately 90 km in length)

USGS Earthquake Hazards Program website, Aug. 10, 2004: 1999 Izmit, Turkey Earthquake/Field Reports/August 25, 1999 ("So far about 110 km of fault rupture has been found with fault slips mostly around 2.5 to 3 m with the maximum so far of 4.9m ... We have spot-checked the length of the fault and believe the rupture to be approximately 110km ... So far, it looks as if the rupture is only between Golcuk to the west and Eften Lake (called Melengolu on the 1:250000 topo map), to the east just southwest of Duzce.")

Glossary of geology, 1997 (rupture: fracture (exp struc geol); rupture velocity: the speed with which rupture propagates along the fault surface during an earthquake; fracture (exp struc geol): brittle deformation due to a momentary loss of cohesion or loss of resistance to differential stress and a release of stored elastic energy. (Both joints and faults are fractures. Syn: rupture))
