Meers Fault is a fault in Oklahoma that extends from Kiowa County to Comanche County. It is marked by a 22–26 kilometers (14–16 mi) long conspicuous fault scarp but the fault extends beyond the ends of this scarp. The Meers fault is part of a group of faults that lie between the Anadarko Basin and the Wichita Mountains.
Meers is defined by a geological displacement or planar fracture known as the Meers Fault. [4] The northwestern Meers fault and the southeastern Meers fault lines are geologically situated in the central lowlands. [5] In 1985, in order to monitor a seismic event, the Oklahoma Geological Survey installed a seismograph in the Meers Store. [6] [7]
