Many of the world’s continents are bounded, or traversed, by vast fault networks that move laterally, like the well-known San Andreas Fault. These strike-slip regimes are vitally important to the world’s natural resources – petroleum, water, and geothermal energy. This book covers all aspects of transform and strike-slip regimes: how they initiate, how they develop, and the natural resources associated with them. Numerous global case studies are utilized to illustrate structural development, thermal and fluid flow implications, and commercial applicability. The work aims to be useful to a broad range of readers, from students of geology and researchers specializing in strike-slip regimes to geoscientists and managers involved in the business of natural resources and energy solutions.
