The Newport–Inglewood-Rose Canyon Fault Zone. The Newport–Inglewood Fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault [1] in Southern California.The fault extends for 47 mi (76 km) [1] (110 miles if the Rose Canyon segment is included) from Culver City southeast through Inglewood and other coastal communities to Newport Beach at which point the fault extends east-southeast into the Pacific Ocean.
Simplified fault map of southern California The faults of Southern California viewed to the southeast, as modeled by the Southern California Earthquake Center. Highlighted in purple are the San Andreas Fault (left) and Santa Monica Bay complex (right). The foreground is in the Santa Barbara Channel, the east-trending zone marks the Transverse ...
This list covers all faults and fault-systems that are either geologically important [clarification needed] or connected to prominent seismic activity. [clarification needed] It is not intended to list every notable fault, but only major fault zones.
The Maacama Fault is a right lateral-moving (dextral) geologic fault located in the Coast Ranges of northwestern California.It is considered to be the northernmost segment of the Hayward Fault subsystem of the San Andreas Fault zone.
The fault is linked to the Newport–Inglewood Fault (NIFZ) in the north and either the Agua Blanca Fault or San Miguel–Vallecitos Fault Zone in the south via en echelon stepovers. Conservative estimates of the fault place the length around 30–50 km (19–31 mi), while interpretations including the NIFZ place the length at 170 km (110 mi).
A map by the California Geological Survey shows faults near the Lake Almanor area in Plumas County, where a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck Thursday, May 11, 2023, followed by a magnitude 5.2 ...
Along the Motagua Fault trace (1976 Guatemala earthquake) where it crosses the Gualán soccer field. This zigzag type of fault trace is known as "mole track", which is best developed in hard-packed, brittle surface materials. The San Andreas fault trace runs along the base of the Temblor Range of mountains near Bakersfield, California. (The ...
This fault zone is the most notable feature within the basin that is a single strand with local (fault) splays. [10] The fault zone is also marked by low hills, scarps, and ten anticlinal folds in a right-stepping en echelon pattern. [19] It is located in the southwest portion of the basin and is a strike-slip margin. There are several oil ...
