   Is the Great Glen Fault sinistral or lateral?

   • The movement at that time was sinistral (left-lateral), the same as the closely related set of faults sub-parallel to the main part of the Great Glen Fault, which include the Strathconon Fault and Strathglass Faults to the northwest and the Laggan Fault, Tyndrum Fault, and Ericht-Laidon Fault to the southeast.

   Will Virginia have a geodatabase of geologic fault lines?

   • The authors work with the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy’s Division of Geology and Mineral Resources, which is currently evaluating the state’s seismic history and compiling a geodatabase of geologic faults within its borders. “It’s going to be the first all-inclusive detailed database of fault lines in Virginia,” Witt said.

   Will Virginia have a fault line database?

   • “It’s going to be the first all-inclusive detailed database of fault lines in Virginia,” Witt said. “We have a basic map, but those are very generalized faults for the entire state. This will be taking all the data we have, historical and modern, and compiling it all.”

   Does Virginia have a fault like the San Andreas Fault?

   • Virginia lacks a surface expression of a fault as dramatic as the San Andreas Fault in California Source: Doc Searls, San Andreas Fault, on the Carrizo Plain Few faults are mapped in the Coastal Plain sedimentary formations. They have accumulated since the breakup of Pangea, and for that entire time the edge of Virginia has been a passive margin.

    The two mantle domains tightly bracket the fault. The lamprophyre magmas were generated at depths of at least 100 km. At the end of the Caledonian Orogeny the Great Glen Fault was a major vertical discontinuity that transected the sub-continental lithospheric mantle.
