Strike-Slip Terrains and Transform Margins Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 January 2025
This chapter discusses the transform fault precursors, continental strike-slip fault zones, and the role of pre-existing anisotropy on their development. It focuses on the potential perturbation of their controlling dynamics and its effect on their structural architecture. The chapter contains a series of examples from failed and successful rift systems, helping to understand the role of different scales of pre-existing anisotropy. These examples serve to illustrate the wide variety of transform, transfer, and accommodation zones that may evolve as a result of crustal inhomogeneities during the activity of a controlling stress regime. They also show how the anisotropy zones manifest themselves in different ways, depending on the relationship between the type of anisotropy and the imposed slip vector.
