If the rate of movement along a fault is known, the amount of offset over a period
Question:
If the rate of movement along a fault is known, the amount of offset over a period of time can be calculated. The basic relationship is
Rate = distance/time
Movement along the San Andreas Fault is about 3.5 cm/yr. If a fence were built across the fault in 2005, how far apart would the two sections of the by-then-broken fence be in 2025?
