San Andreas Fault System (Banning fault, Mission Creek fault, South Pass fault, San Jacinto fault, Elsinore fault) 1300: California, United States: Dextral strike-slip: Active: 1906 San Francisco (M7.7 to 8.25), 1989 Loma Prieta (M6.9) San Ramón Fault: Chile: Thrust fault: Sawtooth Fault: Idaho, United States: Normal fault: Seattle Fault ...
A newly discovered fault line shows why New York City was hit harder by an April earthquake than its epicenter in New Jersey. This discovery could really shake up the Big Apple.
When the location of these offsets were plotted on a map, he noted that they made a near perfect line on top of the fault he previously discovered. He concluded that the fault must have been the origin of the earthquake. This line ran through San Andreas Lake, a sag pond. The lake was created from an extensional step over in the fault, which ...
Of particular concern are signals of massive earthquakes in the region’s geologic history. Many researchers have chased clues of the last “big one”: an 8.7-magnitude earthquake in 1700.
The 800-mile San Andreas Fault is one of the largest fault lines in the world. ... ancient Lake Cahuilla affected the fault line, and discovered two primary impacts. First, ...
A fault plane is the plane that represents the fracture surface of a fault. A fault trace or fault line is a place where the fault can be seen or mapped on the surface. A fault trace is also the line commonly plotted on geologic maps to represent a fault. [3] [4] A fault zone is a cluster of parallel faults.
The Puente Hills thrust fault is the same overall fault network that produced the Whittier Narrows – which measured a 5.9 magnitude, killed eight people and caused some $358 million in damage in ...
