		Few structures were near enough the fault to be damaged by the displacement, although underground utilities, fences, and irrigation ditches were cut.
		The map image above of Awaji Island shows eight or more colored interference fringe lines approaching the fault, at 11 cm of vertical displacement per fringe contour, demonstrating almost 1 meter of uplift by the earthquake.
