Surface cracking is localized. It is not the actual fault opening up. EQs occur a mile or more below the surface. Correct, but you may want to come up to the Bay Area and see what has happened at Point Reyes, Los Trancos and elsewhere. It may be surface cracking, but the ground does open up, and the two sides exhibit significant displacement in three dimensions. Whether it is the actual fault is immaterial - it will disassemble structures. I'm sure you guys have examples in SoCal, and there are some seriously spectacular scarps in Nevada and down near Carrizo Plain, if I'm not mistaken. http://www.cnsm.csulb.edu/department...edroFeb06L.jpg |
