The first statewide geologic map of Georgia was published in 1825. It was a 1:1,000,000 scale map of Georgia and Alabama published by Henry Schenck Tanner. [3] In 1849 W.T. Williams published the geological features for the state on a 1:120,000 scale map within George White's (1849) Statistics of the State of Georgia report. [4]
The Ramapo Fault zone is a system of faults between the northern Appalachian Mountains and Piedmont areas to the east. [1] Spanning more than 185 miles (298 km) in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, it is perhaps
A newly found fault line with a rare slanted angle shows why an earthquake rattled New York City in April harder than its epicenter in New Jersey — and may be a bigger seismic activity threat ...
