The 1989 Newcastle earthquake was an intraplate earthquake that occurred in Newcastle, New South Wales on Thursday 28 December. [2] The shock measured 5.6 on the Richter scale and was one of Australia's most serious natural disasters, killing 13 people and injuring more than 160. The damage bill has been estimated at A$4 billion (or $9.5 ...

A fault plane is the plane that represents the fracture surface of a fault. A fault trace or fault line is a place where the fault can be seen or mapped on the surface. A fault trace is also the line commonly plotted on geologic maps to represent a fault. [3] [4] A fault zone is a cluster of parallel faults.
What are the fault lines under New York and New Jersey? Fault lines are fractures between blocks of rock in the Earth’s crust, the layer closest to the surface. These lines allow tectonic plates ...
A newly found fault line with a rare slanted angle shows why an earthquake rattled New York City in April harder than its epicenter in New Jersey — and may be a bigger seismic activity threat ...

The Puente Hills thrust fault is the same overall fault network that produced the Whittier Narrows – which measured a 5.9 magnitude, killed eight people and caused some $358 million in damage in ...
A fault zone that displaces sealing units and reservoir rocks can act as a conduit for hydrocarbon migration. [6] The fault zone itself has higher storage capacity (specific capacity) than that of the reservoir rocks, therefore, before the migration to other units, the fault zone has to be fully filled [6] (Gif 3). This can slower and ...
