Meert / Brown Debate

Off topic, but I like talking about earthquakes...I was doing some research on quakes a while ago and I found some pictures on the net of a fault displacement in Japan (Kobe or Kyoto, can't remember which). A road had been built across the fault line and displaced by about a metre and a half. As far as I'm aware, large displacements are entirely possible locally even if the fault as a whole only moves by a lesser amount.The Rock Hound
