Late 1990s bathymetric studies showed that it had vertical fault scarps approaching.

However, major vertical faults exist off Los Angeles and the Pacific Northwest.
3.
Near-vertical faults formed almost uniformly throughout the region, most trending northwest to southeast.
4.
Owens Valley is a graben a downdropped block of land between two vertical faults.
5.
Thrust faults lie at low angles, unlike the familiar vertical faults like the San Andreas and Hayward.
6.
The huge rock pillars were then formed by weathering by water, wind and extremes of temperature on the vertical faults.
7.
The shocks at the southeastern segment indicated right-lateral strike-slip movement along a nearly vertical fault, and may have been related to the Alavar fault.
8.
The cave was actually a depression in a vertical fault that was open to the sky and would provide little real shelter, Science reports.
9.
The caldera is bounded by steep near-vertical fault scarps on the north, west, and south sides but is breached to the east where lava can flow to the coast.
10.
Updip migration of petroleum is blocked by impermeable units placed there by vertical fault offsets, with the faults being numerous, and the largest roughly following the strike of the beds.
