Fault (geology)
In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements.
See Sag pond and Fault (geology)
Graben
In geology, a graben is a depressed block of the crust of a planet or moon, bordered by parallel normal faults.
Pico Island
Pico Island (Ilha do Pico) is an island in the Central Group of the Portuguese Azores.
San Andreas Fault

Sierra Pelona Ridge
The Sierra Pelona, also known as the Sierra Pelona Ridge or the Sierra Pelona Mountains, is a mountain ridge in the Transverse Ranges in Southern California.
See Sag pond and Sierra Pelona Ridge
Surface rupture
In seismology, surface rupture (or ground rupture, or ground displacement) is the visible offset of the ground surface when an earthquake rupture along a fault affects the Earth's surface.
See Sag pond and Surface rupture
Topography
Topography is the study of the forms and features of land surfaces.
