Faults range in length from a few centimetres to many hundreds of kilometres, and displacement likewise may range from less than a centimetre to several hundred kilometres along the fracture surface (the fault plane). In some instances, the movement is distributed over a fault zone composed of many individual faults that occupy a belt hundreds of metres wide. The geographic distribution of faults varies; some large areas have almost none, others are cut by innumerable faults. Faults may be vertical, horizontal, or inclined at any angle. Although the angle of inclination of a specific

Extractions: The Yavapai Supergroup (bottom layers) formed by plate tectonic processes as volcanic mountains collided with western North America. After a billion years of erosion, the mountains were reduced to a flat layer of schist (gray), granite (pink), and volcanic rocks containing rich copper deposits (black). Above these mountain roots Paleozoic sedimentary layers (blue, red, tan) and Mesozoic layers (green) formed. Most of these layers accumulated on top of a slowly subsiding western margin of North America. Stage 2: 80-40 Million Years Ago Uplift Near the Central Arizona Highlands, erosion removed rock strata, stripping everything away down to the Hermit Shale. Inch by inch, removal of the easily-eroded, soft shale undermined the harder cliffs above. This caused the overhanging strata to cave in. As this process progressed, a cliff formed, the ancestral Mogollon Rim, and the cliff slowly retreated toward the north. This most recent stage started with volcanoes and lava flows. These are still visible today at the tops of cliffs near Sedona (red-orange layer). A little later the Verde Fault, along the west side of the Verde Valley, caused a large lake to form there. This fault also exposed the copper deposits of Jerome. A smaller fault occurred along the future path of Oak Creek Canyon, promoting erosion and development of the canyon.

Extractions: A Seismic Jigsaw Puzzle Takes Shape San Diego At Risk Hi-Ho Hi-Ho It's Off To Sea We Go The L-Cheapo World Tour A Seismic Jigsaw Puzzle Takes Shape Jeff Babcock should have heard his future calling him back in grade school. When the teacher told the class it was free drawing time, he was the kid sketching volcanoes. Robert Gordon Sproul as Babcock maps in detail an offshore earthquake fault system. He uses an innovative seismometer developed by his team at Scripps. On this October day, Babcock, fellow geophysicists Graham Kent and Alistair Harding, and graduate students Renee Bulow and Jeff Dingler are retrieving eight of the instruments from the ocean floor. Scientists have tended to stop at such boundaries, but the unknown fault might harbor even more destructive power than realized. Just as the IGPP team, which includes institute Director John Orcutt, was getting funding to build the seismographs, other scientists suggested that the Oceanside Fault could produce quakes with magnitudes exceeding 7.0 on the Richter scale, the same size as temblors that damaged San Francisco in 1989 and Northridge, California, in 1994.
Seismology/ Geology Glossary aftershock. Any earthquake which occurs after a larger earthquake (a mainshock) within one rupturelength of the original fault rupture and before the seismicity rate in that area http://www.data.scec.org/glossary.html
Extractions: Any earthquake which occurs after a larger earthquake (a mainshock ) within one rupture-length of the original fault rupture and before the seismicity rate in that area has returned to the background (pre-mainshock) level is generally considered an aftershock. For some earthquakes, a specific "aftershock zone" may be defined, in lieu of the one-rupture-length rule given above. An area of the southwestern United States characterized by roughly parallel mountain ranges and valleys, formed by a series of tilted fault blocks, and brought about by tectonic extension of the region. As is true of any region experiencing crustal extension, normal faulting is common here. (This name can apply generally to any zone of similar landforms and tectonics.) A shallow-dipping reverse fault which terminates before it reaches the surface. When it breaks, therefore, it may produce uplift, but never any clear surface rupture. Many still-unknown blind thrust faults may exist in southern California. Two examples of known blind thrust faults: the Elysian Park Thrust, which runs underneath downtown Los Angeles and the Northridge Thrust Fault, which ruptured in the 1994 Northridge quake.
