   The Great Glen Fault: the swinging pendulum of displacement estimates. The striking geomorphological aspect of the Great Glen of Scotland is its ruler-straight NE–SW trend for 200 km defined by a relatively narrow, steep-sided valley with hundreds of metres of relief.

   Aug 6, 2024 · Abstract: A popular conceptual tectonic model envisages the Great Glen Fault to be part of a sinistral strike-slip system active during the mid-Silurian through early Devonian with c. 700 km of displacement. Here we use sedimentological, geochemical and detrital zircon age data to show that restoring 250–300 km of displacement suffices to ...

   What is the Great Glen Fault?

   • The Great Glen Fault from space: © NASA Visible from space, the Great Glen is a huge valley in the Scottish Highlands, eroded by glaciers more than 10,000 years ago. These glaciers carved the valley below present day sea level, forming a series of deep lakes, the largest and most famous of which is Loch Ness.

   How far have faults moved?

   • fault are moving in opposite directions, there is currently no agreement on how far they have moved. Because the geology on either side of the fault cannot be matched up prior to the Devonian period, it is thought that the displacement could be at least as far as the exposed length of the fault on mainland Scotland.
