In-situ rock stress pattern on the Norwegian continental shelf and mainland

A map of the in-situ major horizontal principal stress direction on- and offshore Norway reveal a stress rotation from N-S in the Barents Sea to E-W in the North Sea. The stress rotation is primarily explained by the ridge push force and the continental margin. Une carte des pression horisontales des roches à Norvège se montre une rotation de la plus grande pression de N-S à la Mer Barents jusqu’a E-O à la Mer du Nord. La raison plus probale est une action de “ridge push”. Eine Spannungskarte von Norwegen zeigt eine Rotation der großten horizontalen Spannung, von N-S in dem Barents Meer bis E-W in der North See. Die Rotation ist hauptsächlich bei der “ridge push” Kraft und dem Kontinentalrand erklärt.

Abstract

A map of the in-situ major horizontal principal stress direction on- and offshore Norway reveal a stress rotation from N-S in the Barents Sea to E-W in the North Sea. The stress rotation is primarily explained by the ridge push force and the continental margin. Une carte des pression horisontales des roches à Norvège se montre une rotation de la plus grande pression de N-S à la Mer Barents jusqu’a E-O à la Mer du Nord. La raison plus probale est une action de “ridge push”. Eine Spannungskarte von Norwegen zeigt eine Rotation der großten horizontalen Spannung, von N-S in dem Barents Meer bis E-W in der North See. Die Rotation ist hauptsächlich bei der “ridge push” Kraft und dem Kontinentalrand erklärt.
