Description |
The Quaternary Fault Map identifies faults that demonstrate evidence of earthquake surface ruptures based on lidar data, geomorphic and topographic analyses, field checks, and, when available, published geologic maps. Faults are considered potentially seismically active and hazardous if fault activity produced coseismic surface deformation during an earthquake, typically expressed as fault scarps, within the Quaternary period (past 2.6 million years). All Quaternary faults in Deer Lodge County have a predominantly normal sense of slip and accommodate continental extension, associated with the Northern Rockies Basin and Range.
