Fault populations, strain distribution and basement fault reactivation in the East Pennines Coalfield, UK

Fault populations, strain distribution and basement fault reactivation in the East Pennines Coalfield, UK

The scaling properties of faults within the East Pennine Coalfield (UK) are analysed for a fault population defined from a high quality, regional (ca. 1300 km 2) fault map for an Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian) coal seam. The fault system is dominated by an orthogonal network of NW- and NE-strikin...

Zusammenfassung:The scaling properties of faults within the East Pennine Coalfield (UK) are analysed for a fault population defined from a high quality, regional (ca. 1300 km 2) fault map for an Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian) coal seam. The fault system is dominated by an orthogonal network of NW- and NE-striking faults that preserve predominantly dip-slip extensional displacements ranging from
