All Fault Zones and Fault Scarps

This group collects the Structural and Tectonic Formations subcategory's members that are named fault systems, fault zones and fault scarps, the surface traces of active or ancient tectonic plate boundaries and internal crustal fractures, from the transform San Andreas Fault in California to major strike-slip and thrust systems across Asia and elsewhere. These features record where crust has moved, and several remain seismically active today, making them of ongoing scientific and hazard interest beyond their historical formation.
