	Where are the Fault Lines in the United States East of the Rocky Mountains?
		However, as I'll explain later (Faults and Earthquakes East of the Rocky Mountains), fault lines are not a particularly reliable guide to earthquakes or earthquake hazards east of the Rockies.
		Faults come in all sizes, from small ones whose short fault lines you can see in a single road cut, to huge faults whose long fault lines can be seen best in pictures taken from orbiting satellites.
		In the northern states, fault lines and the adjoining rocks are also likely to be covered by sand, clay, or gravel that were left by melting glaciers.

	Geologic fault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A fault where the main sense of movement (or slip) on the fault plane is vertical is known as a dip-slip fault.
		Reverse faults are indicative of shortening of the crust.
		The fault plane is the plane that represents the fracture surface of a fault.

	Fault Lines
		The Institute's Fault Lines framework can be used as a quick checklist or a brainstorming tool that journalists can use to analyze and plan the content of their coverage based on the character of the communities they serve.
		Fault Lines improves credibility because knowing which fault line is dominant and not confusing race for class, or class with geography helps to ensure more accurate coverage.
		Fault Lines also recognizes that we all have blind spots based on our experiences and serves to remind all journalists to continue to seek those who have different viewpoints.

	New VHDL Based Critical Path Tracing Method for Fault Simulation by Massoud Shadfar, Armita Paymandoust, and ...
		This is opposite to the fault simulation in which a fault is inserted in the circuit and various tests are applied until one is found to detect the fault.
		If a line value is forced to its complementary value, and this value causes the output of the circuit to toggle, then we can conclude that a fault on the line with the new complementary value can be detected at the output.
		Faults on a line connecting a gate output to another gate input will be reported by both gates.

		Gender is the unifying topos of the work, the fault line of the title is the difficulty of inhabiting a female body in a world where the female body is a site for unending struggles over meaning.
		But if gender proved to be a "fault line," the author certainly possessed a class advantage which the text records.
		Fault Lines contributes greatly to the reader's understanding of the post-colonial condition and specifically of the construction of gender within it.

	Fault Lines By Ann River Siddons
		Fault Lines is about as Southern as it can get and is full of symbols.
		The fault lines in the earth, or the ones in Merritt’s life.
		Deeply Southern in flavor and in sense of place and voice, Fault Lines lays bare the Southern woman’s intimate view of “leading lives of quiet desperation.” This reviewer found Fault Lines to be quite as emotionally exhausting as any Faulkner or O’Conner story ever read, and quite as tragic.

	NSF - OLPA - PR 01-55: ALL EARTHQUAKE FAULT LINES NOT EQUAL
		"These faults have always been modeled as if both sides were equal by definition." Furlong, doctoral student Rocco Malservisi, and geologist Timothy Dixon of the University of Miami investigated the Eastern California Shear Zone, a strike-slip fault system running parallel to the San Andreas fault about 240 kilometers [150 miles] east of San Francisco.
		In a strike-slip fault, the ground on each side of the fault moves along the fault line, but in opposite directions.
		The western side of this fault (consisting of the Sierra Nevada Mountains) and the eastern side of the fault (known as the Basin and Range) have very different heat flow properties.

	Ancient fault lines may have become re-activated
		His findings suggest that an ancient fault line dating back to the Precambrian era of geological history (from 4.6 billion to 570 million years ago) has become reactivated and was the likely cause of the June 2002 earthquakes.
		The Wabash Valley Fault System, a fault system within the Seismic Zone, is probably the best documented fault system in the eastern United States due to past petroleum exploration in the area, yet seismologically it is poorly understood.
		His findings suggest that the strike-slip faulting on this Caborn fault was happening on a near vertical fault plane at 18 km depth, indicating that ancient buried faults associated with a possible Precambrian rift system are being reactivated by contemporary compressive stress.

	Franklin & Marshall - Team of F&M Geologists Discovers New Fault Lines in San Andreas Fault System
		The new fault is located between the towns of Fort Bragg and Westport, approximately 240 km north of San Francisco, according to Dorothy Merritts, professor of geology, and lead presenter of the research.
		This new fault, dubbed the Pacific Star Fault, is part of the San Andreas fault system, and has a similar sense of motion that moves crustal rocks on the western side of the fault to the north with respect to crustal rocks east of the fault.
		The newly discovered fault was revealed after Merritts and her team analyzed several abandoned paleo-stream channels using GPS ground surveying of marine terraces, fieldwork, and large-scale aerial photos of the area.

		Some of the most significant seep signatures are now known to originate from fault lines deep under the ocean's surface from metamorphic rocks.
		To adequately explain how seeps are found at fault lines, it is first necessary to explain the concept and use of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).
		This technique is known as differential interferometry and is very useful in mapping changes in topography as well as subtle shifts in the earth's crust in fault lines.

		Applied to the exhibition, this means that Gilane Tawadros wanted to bring together artists from Africa and the African Diaspora "whose works trace the fault lines that are shaping contemporary experience locally and globally.

		Rivers crossing the fault line are called offset streams and are classic signatures of fault activity along the San Andreas.

	RAND \| Monograph/Reports \| Fault Lines in China’s Economic Terrain
		China has confronted in the past two decades five of the eight fault lines that the authors consider (unemployment, corruption, water resources, HIV/AIDS, and financial fragility), and, nonetheless, it has sustained high rates of economic growth.
		Therefore, in assessing the potential effects of these fault lines on China’s future economic performance, the authors focus on whether, why, and by how much their intensities may increase — that is, on changes, rather than on the prevailing levels of each fault line.
		For the other three fault lines examined, which have not previously occurred or recurred — oil price shocks, foreign-direct-investment shrinkage, and serious military conflicts-the authors consider the circumstances under which they might arise and their resulting economic effects.
