Examples
- Sinistral strike - slip faults along the southern alashan margin and eastwards extending of the altun fault
阿拉善地块南缘的左旋走滑断裂与阿尔金断裂带的东延 - In experiments ， an injection of cytoplasm from dextral eggs changes the pattern of sinistral eggs ， but an injection from sinistral eggs does not influence dextral eggs
用取自左旋卵子的细胞质进行的注射却不能影响到右旋卵子。 - In experiments ， an injection of cytoplasm from dextral eggs changes the pattern of sinistral eggs ， but an injection from sinistral eggs does not influence dextral eggs
在实验中，用取自右旋卵子的细胞质进行的注射，可改变左旋卵子的模式；用取自左旋卵子的细胞质进行的注射却不能影响到右旋卵子。 - Especially interesting is the serpentinous peridotite in this belt occurred as lense blocks of various sizes , and superimposed with other geological masses with faults , and in combine to constitute the mixture . system in the belt . five tectonic stage can be discerned in this area : ( 1 ) south - north ward overthrust ; ( 2 ) sinistral strike - slip ( 3 ) dextral strike - slip ( 4 ) south - north ward overthrust ( 5 ) northeast , northwest late stage fault
本区上述的结构构造特征先后经历了五期构造作用，依次为： ( 1 )南北向逆冲推覆； ( 2 )左行走滑； ( 3 )右行走滑； ( 4 )南北向挤压推覆； ( 5 )北东向、北西向晚期断裂； - Jiyang depression is a field where nonhydrocarbon is rich . these resources have close relation with the activities of the volcanos . at the same time , the activities of volcanos have deep contact with the activities of the faults . the growth of the faults in jiyang depression is great . by the research of the index number of the faults growth and the other researches , nw direction faults are the most ones in mesozoic , nw and ne and approximately ew directions all exist in cenozoic . the above reflects the whole geotectonic background that sinistral shearing stress field exists in mesozoic , but dextral shearing stress field exists in cenozoic
这些气藏与火山活动有密切的成生关系，同时火山活动与断裂活动也有密切的关系。济阳坳陷内断裂活动极为发育，通过断层生长指数等的分析，推断中生代断裂以北西向为主，新生代则兼有北西向北东向和近东西向的断裂，上述断裂发育特征反映了该区的大地构造背景，在中生代是左旋的剪切应力场，在新生代则是右旋的剪切应力场。
