pyacs.lib.faultslip.fault_to_corners.fault_to_corners(lon, lat, depth, length, width, strike, dip)

Compute 4 fault corner coordinates from origin, dimensions and orientation.

Parameters:

• lon (float) – Origin longitude for fault in decimal degrees.

• lat (float) – Origin latitude for fault in decimal degrees.

• depth (float) – Depth in km (negative downward; positive values are converted to negative).

• length (float) – Fault length in km.

• width (float) – Fault width in km.

• strike (float) – Fault strike in degrees.

• dip (float) – Fault dip in degrees.

Returns:

Array of shape (4, 3) with [lon, lat, depth] for the 4 fault corners.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

Notes

Uses a flat Earth approximation; depth is negative.
