What is the name of the fault line that runs for about 800 miles in California?
North Anatolian Fault North Anatolian Fault The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) () is an active right-lateral strike-slip fault in northern Anatolia which runs along the transform boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Anatolian Plate. The fault extends westward from a junction with the East Anatolian Fault at the Karliova Triple Junction in eastern Turkey, across northern Turkey and into the Aegean Sea for a length of 1500 kilometers. It runs about 20 km south of Istanbul. The North Anatolian Fault is similar in many ways to the San Andreas Fault in California. Both are continental transforms with similar lengths and slip rates.
Kern Canyon Fault of the fault line’s capability of supporting Isabella Dams, Treaser (1948) recorded in-depth analysis of the fault’s basement rocks. His method of understanding the geology of the fault included surface study, drilling and trenching; by this standard, he was able to discern the rocks that inhabit this fault line at 800 feet in diameter (244m). These specimens include quartzite, olivine, gabbro, sheared granitic rocks, metasedimentary rocks, and diorite. Kern Canyon Fault The Kern Canyon Fault (Late-Quaternary Active Kern Canyon Fault) is a dextral strike-slip fault (horizontal) that runs roughly around 150 km (93 mi) beside the Kern Canyon River through
