Some Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) microtextures have been observed on the products of quartzite from triaxial compression experiments with a confining pressure of 1-5 Kb and a strain rate of 4.4?10^-5/sec.The SEM microtextures resulting from stick-slip are distinguishable from those resulting from steady-state slip.The former shows the characteristics of bashing and shearing fracture or rapid slipping,and the latter demonstrates those associated with rubbing fracture and slow shearing.The SEM mic-rotextures in products from active faults can be compared with those from experiments.It is significant to distinguish between stick-slip and steady-state slip motion of active iaults by using these typical SEM microtextures.
