Fig. 8: Schematic of fault structures and slip modes.
From: Spontaneous complexity in the dynamics of slow laboratory earthquakes
a Schematic drawing showing the structures developed during shearing of the experimental fault, associated stress state, and main features. b Simplified, representative rupture patterns for both regular and irregular events. c Cross-section showing the possible nucleation within a Riedel shear (R) and subsequent propagation to the boundary shears (BU and BL). ML are the micro-lithons. White and black arrows indicate the shear sense.
