Quaternary faults and ne(at)otectonic features of Nevada, Exhibit B
There was an impressive quake or two (~ M 7.1) in Fairview Valley and Dixie Valley, Nevada back in 1954. The results are some spectacular and very fresh fault scarps. Don't be fooled... that white line along the mountain front is no road.
Go check this place out...see how far you can follow the rupture and how it influences the landscape...in particular, look for older faults and evaluate them as well.
