Abstract

In this article, we review the step-by-step progress made in the recent past in the direction of forward modelling of the*crustal deformation associated with strike-slip and dip-slip faulting in the Earth. We confine ourselves mainly to those studies which strive to find analytical closed-form solutions oT-the corresponding two-dimensional problems. Three Earth models are considered : a uniform half-space, two half-spaces in welded contact and a layered half-space. The effect of nununiform slip on the fault is also discussed.
