<p>Vertical stylolites are pressure solution features, which are considered to be caused by horizontal tectonic loading, with the largest principal compressive stress being (sub-)parallel to the Earth's surface. In the present study we analyze the roughness ...

Limestone formations in the United States can be subject to relatively high horizontal stresses owing to the existence of tectonic loading of the limestone strata. Underground limestone mines use the room-and-pillar method, in which 12- to 18-m-wide rooms ...

<p>In this paper is observed a correlation between the Earth tide and earthquake occurrence that is closely related to the regional tectonic stress. It is investigated the direction of the tidal compressional stress using shallow earthquakes occurring in 100 ...
