Description:

Abstract:

Although many faults are detected at the surface and in deep structures, they are important in evaluating present seismic hazard only if they show evidence of having recent slip. Older faults may have healed, or movement may have occurred under a different stress orientation than currently exists, or seismic activity may wax and wane at intervals longer than the historic record. In this cover, we show locations of known or suspected recent faulting. Features were identified in trenches, auger holes, wells, or on the surface.

Purpose:

The data was generated to help in understanding the seismotectonic hazards in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley. This data complements similar data collected in the vicinity of New Madrid, MO US Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-0574 at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0574/
