  2. Anderson's theory of faulting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson's_Theory_of_Faulting

    Anderson's fault theory also presents a model for seismic interpretation. [7] This model predicts the dip of faults according to their regime classification. [2] Conjugate walls in any fault will share a dip angle with that angle being measured from the top of the hanging wall or the bottom of the foot wall. [2]

    Ernest Masson Anderson FRSE FGS (1877–1960) was a Scottish geologist. Ernest was born in Falkirk and educated at Falkirk High School and the High School of Dundee before attending the University of Edinburgh , where he received a B.Sc. in 1897, an M.A. in mathematics and natural philosophy in 1898, and a D.Sc. in 1933.

  4. Focal mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_mechanism

    For example, in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, the moment tensor solution gives two nodal planes, one dipping northeast at 6 degrees and one dipping southwest at 84 degrees. In this case, the earthquake can be confidently associated with the plane dipping shallowly to the northeast, as this is the orientation of the subducting slab as ...

  5. Stiff diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiff_diagram

    Stiff patterns are useful in making a rapid visual comparison between water from different sources. An alternative to the Stiff diagram is the Maucha diagram. Stiff diagrams can be used: 1) to help visualize ionically related waters from which a flow path can be determined, or;

  6. 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 ...

  7. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    The same logic applies downstream to determine that the water surface follows an M3 profile from the gate until the depth reaches the conjugate depth of the normal depth at which point a hydraulic jump forms to raise the water surface to the normal depth. Step 4: Use the Newton Raphson Method to solve the M1 and M3 surface water profiles. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_W._Anderson

    Philip Warren Anderson ForMemRS HonFInstP (December 13, 1923 – March 29, 2020) was an American theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate.Anderson made contributions to the theories of localization, antiferromagnetism, symmetry breaking (including a paper in 1962 discussing symmetry breaking in particle physics, leading to the development of the Standard Model around 10 years later), and high ...

  9. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

    Water chemistry analysis is often the groundwork of studies of water quality, pollution, hydrology and geothermal waters. Analytical methods routinely used can detect and measure all the natural elements and their inorganic compounds and a very wide range of organic chemical species using methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry .
