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 and runs through the provinces of Rizal, and the Metro Manila cities of Quezon, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig and Muntinlupa, and the provinces of Cavite and Laguna that ends in ...
The Wasatch Fault. Dates indicate approximately when the most recent strong (magnitude greater than 6.5) earthquake occurred on a fault segment. The Wasatch Fault is an active fault located primarily on the western edge of the Wasatch Mountains in the U.S. states of Utah and Idaho. The fault is about 240 miles (390 kilometres) long, stretching ...
The Philippine Fault System is a major inter-related system of geological faults throughout the whole of the Philippine Archipelago, [ 1 ] primarily caused by tectonic forces compressing the Philippines into what geophysicists call the Philippine Mobile Belt. [ 2 ] Some notable Philippine faults include the Guinayangan, Masbate and Leyte faults.
Highways. Expressways. List. Circumferential Road 5 (C-5), informally known as the C-5 Road, is a network of roads and bridges which comprise the fifth beltway of Metro Manila in the Philippines. [2] Spanning some 43.87 kilometers (27.26 mi), it connects the cities of Las Piñas, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, Taguig, and Valenzuela.
Magnetic potential map of the Reelfoot Rift. The New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ), sometimes called the New Madrid Fault Line, 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.
Locations of quakes magnitude 2.5 or greater in the Wabash Valley (upper right) and New Madrid (lower left) Seismic Zones. The Wabash Valley Seismic Zone (also known as the Wabash Valley Fault System or Zone) is a tectonic region located in the Midwestern United States, centered on the valley of the Lower Wabash River, along the state line between southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana.
45°N124°W / 45°N 124°W The Cascadia subduction zone is a 960 km (600 mi) fault at a convergent plate boundary, about 100–200 km (70–100 mi) off the Pacific coast, that stretches from northern Vancouver Island in Canada to Northern California in the United States. It is capable of producing 9.0+ magnitude earthquakes and tsunamis ...
The Hayward Fault is one of the secondary faults in this diffuse zone, along with the Calaveras Faultto the east and the San Gregorio Fault, west of the San Andreas. The complete fault zone, including the Rodgers Creek fault, is divided by seismologists into three segments – Rodgers Creek, Northern Hayward, and Southern Hayward.
