Block modeling for Intraplate #9

Closed suribabud closed 1 year ago

suribabud commented 1 year ago

Dear members, I already mentioned that I'm working on Intraplate region. I want to separate the Intraplate region to two different blocks because of GPS velocities (Northward stations showing southward motion and vise versa; attached figure). Then based on GPS velocities I wanna calculate the two different Euler poles for two blocks. Is it correct procedure to calculate the slip rate of different faults presented in two different blocks?

Your kind suggestions will enhance my knowledge. 123

Changes in patterns of GPS velocities may signal an active block boundary between groups of stations, so you may wish to separate these groups of stations into two blocks as suspected. If you haven't yet done so, please read Meade and Loveless (2009) for a theoretical background in block modeling.
