   What is the Philippine Fault?

   • The Philippine fault is a ~1250-km-long, left-lateral strike-slip fault extending NNW parallel to the Philippine archipelago. This fault has been very active in the past 200 years with several destructive earthquakes accompanied by surface rupture.

   How is the surface trace of the Philippine Fault mapped?

   • We mapped the surface trace of the Philippine fault on 1:50000-scale topographic maps based mainly on interpretation of ~1:30000-scale aerial photographs. We then compiled these fault trace data on a Geographic Information System to produce the first digital active fault map of the Philippine fault.

   How long is the Great Glen Fault?

   • It is at least 300 miles (480 kilometres) long. The Great Glen Fault has a long movement history. It formed towards the end of the Caledonian orogeny associated with the collision between the Laurentia and Baltic tectonic plates at the end of the Silurian continuing into the Early Devonian (likely age range 430–390 Ma (million years)).

   Why is the Great Glen a major fault zone?

   • The Great Glen has been recognized as a major fault zone for well over a century, but it was not until the work of William Kennedy in the 1930s (published in 1946) that its significance was recognized. Kennedy showed that the fault had moved sideways – as a so-called strike-slip (or wrench) fault.

   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.
