The Great Glen Fault is a long strike-slip (transcurrent) fault that runs through its namesake the Great Glen (Glen Albyn) in Scotland. However, the fault is actually much longer and over 400 million years old.
Famous quotes containing the word fault:
“Quarrels would never last long, if the fault were on but one side.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
