how one finds geological fault lines with reference of earthquake


It depends where the earthquake is. The US Geological Survey keeps detailed records of US earthquakes and fault lines, and less detailed info on overseas one.

If the earthquake was in the UK check the British Geological Survey website. The BGS keeps up to date info on all UK seismic activity, the magnitude, severity, location and depth, maps of fault lines in the UK etc. No major UK earthquake has occurred for some time, though a 5.4 in Market Rasen was felt in most of the country a few months ago, and Market Rasen has been the centre of many minor tremors since that initial one.

There was one higher than a 5.0 in Folkestone a few years ago, causing minor structural damage, and damage to cliff faces.

No one has died as a result of an earthquake in the UK for over 200 years.

Fault lines and earthquakes.?


I understand that most earthquakes occur on fault lines on tectonic plate boundaries; however, I see many occurring far from one of these (i.e. today's temblor in NE Nevada, far from the San Andreas Fault or any boundary of the North American plate).

How is this possible, and what explains it?

Actually, Nevada and the Basin and Range Province has many faults. The Basin and Range is sort of a "spreading center", with many pullapart type geological structures (normal faulting), due to the area undergoing what we call 'extension'. Extension is the opposite of compression.

Also, there has in the not-so-distant past been volcanic activity in parts of Nevada, and the movement of magma can cause earthquakes.

    Battlefield 3 looks so unbelievably amazing but I only hope it lives up to all the hype

    Modern Warfare 3 is just the same old COD nothing new.
