Escarpment formed by the Balcones Fault at Mount Bonnell Balcones Fault Trend and affected counties Geologic map of the Balcones, and the Mexia-Talco-Luling Fault Trends, where black lines are faults, the blue shaded area is the Claiborne Group, yellow is the Jackson Group, and tan is the Wilcox Group
The aquifer's recharge zone, [7] where surface water enters the aquifer, follows the Balcones Fault line, from Brackettville (roughly along U.S. Highway 90), through San Antonio, and north to Austin along but a few miles west of Interstate 35. On certain stretches of highway in Austin and San Antonio, signs indicate that the driver is entering ...
5.35% [1] Protected. 2.26% [1] The Edwards Plateau is a geographic region forming the crossroads of Central, South and West Texas, United States. It is named in honor of Haden Edwards. [2] It is bounded by the Balcones Fault to the south and east; the Llano Uplift and the Llano Estacado to the north; and the Pecos River and Chihuahuan Desert to ...
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 ...
The Mount Bonnell fault has a vertical throw of up to 600 feet, making it the most prominent normal fault within the Balcones Fault Zone. During the Miocene , the Edwards Group was displaced downwards relative to the Glen Rose Formation on the Edwards Plateau , so that they are juxtaposed.
The Ramapo Fault System is the longest in the northeastern U.S., stretching from Pennsylvania to southeastern New York. Map of the Ramapo Fault System: Earthquake epicenter at Lebanon, NJ ...
Also shown: Victoria (V), part of the Leech River Fault (unlabeled), and part of the Olympic–Wallowa Lineament. The Puget Sound faults under the heavily populated Puget Sound region (Puget Lowland) of Washington state form a regional complex of interrelated seismogenic (earthquake-causing) geologic faults. These include (from north to south ...
Ramapo Fault. The Ramapo Fault zone is a system of faults between the northern Appalachian Mountains and Piedmont areas to the east. [1] Spanning more than 185 miles (298 km) in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, it is perhaps the best known fault zone in the Mid-Atlantic region, and some small earthquakes have been known to occur in its ...
