Question
In this section you will see a series of images where transform fault motion has offset features on the land surface. In each image, sketch a line along the surface where you think the transform fault is. Draw arrows on either side of the fault to show direction of motion of the plates. The first image shows you where the fault is with arrows on either side of it. The line you sketch should run right between those arrows (the fault is easy to see in this image). The offset stream drainage is also shown - which direction would the stream appear to be moving if you were standing on one plate looking across the fault to the other? That will tell you if it is left or right lateral. 17. Sketch the fault on the image below. Is this left or right lateral? Wallace Creek ancestral -100 yards 18. The above image is from a portion of the San Andreas fault. Does your answer above make sense with what you learned from the last section (question 16)? Why or why not?Explanation / Answer
17. The fault is shown in the map, just draw a line on san andreas fault to mark it, It is a right lateral fault, even if you view from wallace river. explanations are given in previous answer to your quiestion.
18. Yes, becaues, if you observe from wallace river to the other side of the fault, its relative plate motion is towards right, and vice versa when you observe from opposite side of the river.
19. draw a line, on the image, where fault is visible, faultis the line which cut across the rows,
The above given image is also a right lateral fault. explanation given in previous quiestion.
20, Draw a line on the map, where fault is visible. Yes this image is of san andreas fault, this is a part of the main sub- fault, which is near perpendicular to the main fault.
This is a left lateral fault.
