Elsinore Fault Zone - Fault Segments and Geography

Fault Segments and Geography

The fault runs from the mountainous Peninsular Ranges region between El Centro and San Diego, northwest to the Chino Hills range and Chino Hills. On the southern end of the fault zone is the southeastern extension of the Elsinore fault zone, the Laguna Salada Fault. At its northern end, the Elsinore fault zone splits into two segments, the Chino Fault and the Whittier Fault. In Lake Elsinore the fault is split into strands with the Glen Ivy North and Glen Ivy South faults to the northwest and the Wildomar and Willard faults to the southeast.

Famous quotes containing the words fault, segments and/or geography:

    A man in public life expects to be sneered at—it is the fault of his elevated sitiwation, and not of himself.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.
    Derek Wall (b. 1965)
