The Japan Median Tectonic Line is visible in forms of several outcrops and fault saddles in Ina city, Ōshika village, and Iida city in southern Nagano Prefecture. [9] The historic Akiha Kodo pilgrimage route ( Japan National Route 152 ) between Suwa-taisha shrine in central Nagano Prefecture and the Akihasan shrine in Shizuoka Prefecture ...
The New Madrid seismic zone (NMSZ), sometimes called the New Madrid fault line (or fault zone or fault system), is a major seismic zone and a prolific source of intraplate earthquakes (earthquakes within a tectonic plate) in the Southern and Midwestern United States, stretching to the southwest from New Madrid, Missouri.
Pressure on the fault where the 1811–1812 New Madrid earthquakes occurred was believed to be increasing, [23] but a later study by Eric Calais of Purdue University and other experts concluded the land adjacent to the New Madrid fault was moving less than 0.2 mm (0.0079 in) a year, increasing the span between expected earthquakes on the fault ...

The north-northwest end of the Walker Lane is between Pyramid Lake in Nevada and California's Lassen Peak [1] [2] where the Honey Lake Fault Zone, the Warm Springs Valley Fault, and the Pyramid Lake Fault Zone [3] meet the transverse tectonic zone forming the southern boundary of the Modoc Plateau and Columbia Plateau provinces.
Map of the northern end of the Alpine Fault and Marlborough Fault System. The Pacific plate and Indo-Australian plate boundary forms the Macquarie Fault Zone in the Puysegur Trench off the southwestern corner of the South Island and comes onshore as the Alpine Fault just north of Milford Sound.

Lifted fault-block geology Tilted fault-block formation in the Teton Range. Fault-block mountains often result from rifting, an indicator of extensional tectonics. These can be small or form extensive rift valley systems, such as the East African Rift zone. Death Valley in California is a smaller example.
