The fault throws the beds of the Middle Coal Measures of the Manchester Coalfield by 1,000 feet (300 m) on its western side. The fault is active, and movement has caused earthquakes. An earthquake of intensity 6 on the Richter scale that occurred on 10 February 1889 was felt over an area of 2,500 square miles (6,500 km 2). Lesser shocks were ...
This set the jurisdictional boundary between these states at the vegetation line on the south bank, but left title of adjacent property owners at the south bank. (The Red River actively meanders, as shown by a comparison of maps of the political boundaries defined by the river's course decades ago and currently.)
In 1940, Harold Wellman found that the Southern Alps were associated with a fault line approximately 650 km (400 miles) [a] long. [34] The fault was officially named the Alpine Fault in 1942 as an extension of a previously mapped structure. [5] At the same time, Harold Wellman proposed the 480 kilometres (300 mi) lateral displacement on the ...

Approximate location of the Seattle Fault Zone (and other faults). The section of the fault zone directly under "Seattle" corresponds to the red line in the photo at the top. (DGER [9]) One model of the Seattle Uplift: Cross-section (south to north) along the east side of central Puget Sound, looking west. TB = Tacoma Basin EPZ = East Passage ...
The Great Lakes tectonic zone (GLTZ) is bounded by South Dakota at its tip and heads northeast to south of Duluth, Minnesota, then heads east through northern Wisconsin, Marquette, Michigan, and then trends more northeasterly to skim the northernmost shores of lakes.
This is a list of the named geological faults in Scotland. See the main article on faults for a fuller treatment of fault types and nomenclature but in brief, the main types are normal faults, reverse faults, thrusts, thrust faults or slides and strike-slip faults. Many faults may have acted as both normal faults at one time and as reverse or ...
Map of major active fault zones in the Tibetan Plateau Map of the main segments of the Xianshuihe fault system (coloured). The Xianshuihe fault system or the Yushu-Ganzi-Xianshuihe fault system is a major active sinistral (left-lateral) strike-slip fault zone in southwestern China, at the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau.
