The Engadine Line is an over 50-kilometre (30 mi) long strike-slip fault in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, which extends into Italy and Austria.It runs along the Engadine Valley (which formed on the fault) and the Bregaglia Valley and offsets Austroalpine and Penninic units in a sinistral direction.
A geologic map or geological map is a special-purpose map made to show various geological features. Rock units or geologic strata are shown by color or symbols. Bedding planes and structural features such as faults , folds , are shown with strike and dip or trend and plunge symbols which give three-dimensional orientations features.
The Concord Fault is a geologic fault in the San Francisco Bay Area. The reason it is called that is because it is located under the city of Concord . [ 1 ] It is connected to, and considered to be part of, the same fault zone as the Green Valley fault, which lies just a few miles to the north across the Suisun Bay . [ 2 ]
The Marikina Valley fault system, also known as the Valley fault system (VFS), is a dominantly right-lateral strike-slip fault system in Luzon, Philippines. [2] It extends from Doña Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan in the north, running through the provinces of Rizal, the Metro Manila cities of Quezon, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig and Muntinlupa, and the provinces of Cavite and Laguna, before ending in ...
In respect of it being 'the place where the highest regional scale low-angle normal fault of the Earth can be directly observed', the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) included 'The South Tibetan Detachment System in the Rongbuk Valley' in its assemblage of 100 'geological heritage sites' around the world in a listing published ...
The rift system extends more than 1,000 km (620 mi) along the Saint Lawrence valley from the Ottawa – Montreal area. Within the system, fault reactivation is believed to occur along late Proterozoic to early Paleozoic normal faults related to the opening of the Iapetus Ocean .
The Chihshang fault (Chinese: 池上段層) is an active reverse fault system [1] located in the center of the Longitudinal Valley (the East Rift Valley in the eastern part of Taiwan), and is a segment of the Longitudinal Valley Fault. The fault strikes north-northeast–south-southwest, situated between the Central Mountain Range and the Hai ...
