The Marikina Valley fault system, also known as the Valley fault system (VFS), is a dominantly right-lateral strike-slip fault system in Luzon, Philippines. [2] It extends from Doña Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan in the north, running through the provinces of Rizal, the Metro Manila cities of Quezon, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig and Muntinlupa, and the provinces of Cavite and Laguna, before ending in ...
These tectonic plates have compressed and lifted parts of the Philippines causing extensive faulting, primarily on a north–south axis. All faults in the Philippines are inter-related by the tectonic forces of the Philippine Mobile Belt, or its tectonic induced volcanism. A more complete understanding can be gained by viewing the faults in the ...
The Philippine archipelago is bounded by subduction zones which makes the region volcanically active. The most active volcano in the Philippines is the Mayon Volcano located in southeastern Luzon. [36] It is related to the subduction of Philippine Sea plate beneath the Philippine Mobile Belt. [4] Earthquakes (mag >6.0) in the Philippines (2019)
The two primary methods of deformation in metals are slip and twinning. Slip occurs by dislocation glide of either screw or edge dislocations within a slip plane. Slip is by far the most common mechanism. Twinning is less common but readily occurs under some circumstances. Twinning occurs when there are not enough slip systems to accommodate ...
Slip is a shear deformation which moves the atoms through many interatomic distances relative to their initial positions. Twinning is the plastic deformation which takes place along two planes due to a set of forces applied to a given metal piece. Most metals show more plasticity when hot than when cold.
The Bohol fault system is a reverse fault system in Bohol province, Philippines. This fault system contains three segments: the newly found North Bohol Fault following the 2013 Bohol earthquake, [2] the South Offshore Fault, [3] and the East Bohol Fault. The North Bohol Fault is located in Inabanga and near Clarin.
Diagram of fault geometry (in map view) that leads to transtension at the bend or step-over. Releasing bends are transtensional structures that form where the orientation of a strike-slip fault becomes oblique to the regional slip vector causing local extension (such as a right stepping bend on a right-lateral fault). [ 1 ]
Crystal plasticity assumes that any deformation that is applied to a material is accommodated by the process of slip, where dislocation motion occurs on a slip system. Further, Schmid's law is assumed to be a valid, where a given slip system is said to be active when the resolved shear stress along the slip system exceeds the critical resolved ...
