From: Frictional strength of North Anatolian fault in eastern Marmara region
Schematic illustration of the relation between maximum compressive stress axis (σ 1), fault strike and the frictional coefficient of a fault. Here μ is the frictional coefficient, β is the angle between the fault strike and the orientation of σ 1. More explanations on the topic can be found in Iio (1997). The figure is compiled from the studies of Armijo et al. (2002), Bulut et al. (2009) and Pinar et al. (2010). a The North Anatolian fault beneath the Sea of Marmara, b The Princes’s island fault beneath the Çınarcık basin, c the regional stress tensor acting in Marmara region
