faultplane {RFOC}R Documentation

fault plane projection on focal sphere

Description

given azimuth and dip of fault mechanism, calculate and plot the fault plane.

Usage

faultplane(az, dip, col = par("col"), PLOT = TRUE, UP = FALSE)

Arguments

az degrees, strike of the plane (NOT down dip azimuth)
dip degrees, dip from horizontal
col color for line
PLOT option for adding to plot
UP upper or lower hemisphere

Details

Azimuth is the strike in degrees, not the down dip azimuth as described in other routines.

Value

list of points along fault plane

x coordinates on focal sphere
y coordinates on focal sphere
