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:
“This is a fault common to all singers, that among their friends they will never sing when they are asked; unasked, they will never desist.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
