Graphical representation of the main mechanisms
Sketch of the mechanisms inducing ground ruptures: (i) horizontal displacement due to shearing on the plane of weakness or to tensile failure; (ii) reactivation of an existing fault caused by horizontal displacements; (iii) tensile fracture above a bedrock ridge; (iv) differential compaction due to heterogeneous thickness of aquifer (rigid)/aquitard (compressible) layers.
