Wheeler, 1997). Historic seismicity demonstrates a “shotgun” distribution of earthquakes coincident with the Wabash Valley fault system that are at best poorly tied to mapped bedrock faults (Pavlis et al., 2002). One of the few exceptions to this ... Thus, it appears that the fault may have produced a fault scarp.

Earthquakes either produce faults or originate at them. Faults are fractures in crustal rock involving the displacement of rock on one side of the fracture with respect to rock on the other side. Earthquakes originate at the "focus"¿the point at the surface directly above the focus is the epicentre of the earthquake.

Earthquake geologists try to determine the size and recurrence intervals of ancient earthquakes by digging trenches across earthquake scarps, the ancient scars of earthquakes. Figure 4 shows a scarp recently left by a large earthquake in Idaho, and a trench excavated across a fault in the Phillipines.

Just as you snap your fingers with the whole area of your fingertip and thumb, earthquakes happen over an area of the fault, called the rupture surface. However, unlike your fingers, the whole fault plane does not slip at once.

In Nevada we can clearly recognize fault-scarp evidence of earthquakes going back to 100,000 years. Dating of scarps that can be used to document earthquakes over the past 10,000 years is getting more and more precise. ... Scott: Where did the term "paleoseismology" originate?

Suddenly, you come upon a roughly vertical cliff -- a scarp. Familiar with the area, the geologist assures you that this is a fault scarp.
