2. Anderson's theory of faulting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_Theory_of_Faulting

   Anderson's theory of faulting, devised by Ernest Masson Anderson in 1905, is a way of classifying geological faults by use of principal stress. [1] [2] A fault is a fracture in the surface of the Earth that occurs when rocks break under extreme stress. [3] Movement of rock along the fracture occurs in faults.

3. Detachment fault - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachment_fault

   A detachment fault is a gently dipping normal fault associated with large-scale extensional tectonics. [1] Detachment faults often have very large displacements (tens of km) and juxtapose unmetamorphosed hanging walls against medium to high-grade metamorphic footwalls that are called metamorphic core complexes .

5. Fault (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_(geology)

   Nearly all faults have some component of both dip-slip and strike-slip; hence, defining a fault as oblique requires both dip and strike components to be measurable and significant. Some oblique faults occur within transtensional and transpressional regimes, and others occur where the direction of extension or shortening changes during the ...

8. Anderson's theorem (superconductivity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_theorem...

   In the field of superconductivity, Anderson's theorem states that superconductivity in a conventional superconductor is robust with respect to (non-magnetic) disorder in the host material. It is named after P. W. Anderson , who discussed this phenomenon in 1959, briefly after BCS theory was introduced.
