-
A.
Coast Range Fault system
The Coast Range Fault system is a major network of active and ancient faults underlying California’s Coast Ranges that plays a key role in the region’s complex tectonics and earthquake activity.
-
B.
Wasatch Fault
The Wasatch Fault is a major active normal fault system in Utah that poses significant earthquake risk to the densely populated Wasatch Front region.
-
C.
Rocky Mountain fault system
The Rocky Mountain fault system is a major network of geological faults along the Rocky Mountains that has shaped the region’s topography and tectonic evolution.
-
D.
Teton fault
The Teton fault is a major normal fault in northwestern Wyoming that has uplifted the dramatic Teton Range and shaped the adjacent Jackson Hole valley.
-
E.
Transverse Ranges fault system
The Transverse Ranges fault system is a complex network of active faults in Southern California that accommodates motion between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates and is responsible for significant seismic activity in the region.
- F. None of above. chosen
