Fault Scarp along the western margin of the Black Mountains. This relatively recent range-front fault shows a vertical displacement of about 8 feet. The rocks here are the lacustrine sandstones and siltstones of the Pliocene Furnace Creek Formation. Death Valley National Park. Inyo Co., Calif.
Aerial photograph of the San Andreas Fault (from about 5 o'clock to about 1 o'clock), Quarry Canyon, Mecca Hills, Coachella Valley, Riverside County, California. Included in this view to the northwest are the Coachella Canal (upper left) and the mouth of Thermal Canyon (upper right).
The San Andreas fault extends through California for a distance of nearly 600 miles. It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault, meaning that the opposite side of the fault always moves to the right, and the motion is predominantly horizontal. This fault greatly affects the rocks through which it passes, as seen at this well-known locality just west of the Avenue S offramp from the Highway 14 freeway in the city of Palmdale, California (not far from LA). I guess you could safely say it`s San Andreas` fault whenever anything goes wrong around there!
I took some of this apart today and started on a vignette that I might post WIP pics of tomorrow. Hope you guys are excited too see the outcome!

A sub-vertical fault plane with sharp bends and slight curves along slickenline striation paths/traces (in non-technical terms, scratches in the rock from frictional drag along the fault surface),
indicating a history of slight and temporary change in displacement direction (part of Eocene age extensional faulting in south-central British Columbia). Location: Warren Creek Road, near Greenwood, British Columbia.

The mountain shows clearly the fault line of red rocks. Amazing to see geology on display like this.
The BBC, whilst it has its faults, do produce the greatest wildlife documentaries in the world, bar none.
Sir David Attenborough, one of the greatest human beings alive today, has played a major role in many of these great documentaries. His passion, knowledge and experience, and his beautiful demeanour, manner, and - oh that voice - will never be matched.
He has won countless awards over his 91 years, and is a true British icon.

"It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now."
"I don't think we are going to become extinct. We're very clever and extremely resourceful - and we will find ways of preserving ourselves, of that I'm sure. But whether our lives will be as rich as they are now is another question."
"We really need to kick the carbon habit and stop making our energy from burning things. Climate change is also really important. You can wreck one rainforest then move, drain one area of resources and move onto another, but climate change is global."
"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?"
"No-one will protect what they don't care about, and no-one will care about something they've never experienced."
"Anyone who believes in indefinite growth on a physically finite planet is either mad or an economist."

The Aspy Fault is a faultline dating back to the Ordovician geological period when it formed on the edges of Gondwanaland in the microcontinent called Avalonia. Avalonia ultimately broke up, with remnants now lying in parts of North America and western Europe. The fault itself is a major feature of the scenery of the Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia, and it is possibly the same fault line which appears as the Great Glen in the Scottish Highlands.

The San Andreas fault is called the boundary between the North American and Pacific plates. It gets a lot of attention, but the plate-tectonic action actually is spread over a wide band of active faults on both sides, west and east, of the San Andreas proper. In Solano County the easternmost part of that boundary consists of the Green Valley fault. The Green Valley fault seems to rupture every thousand years or so (and last ruptured between 1600 and 1800), but there isn't much data.
Keeping fingers crossed!
Bråvikens förkastningsbrant (the left side of the bay) is a fault scarp which is a part of a larger fault system.
Taken with a half-frame camera that I modified so the exposures would overlap.
And pick up your trash, people. Sometimes when I come here I bring a garbage bag to tidy up.
