The Mechanics of Active Faulting and Mountain Building
… km-wide band of normal faults between Cusco and Lake Titicaca are extending NNE-SSW to NE-SW at ~1-3 mm/yr. The normal faults became active in the past ~5 Myrs and re-activate pre-existing reverse faults. To account for the extension rates across the normal faults, I calculate that the average …
