Hello everyone - I have a dumb question- how do the geologists know if this location has a fault or not?
@ridor9th that's a great question! I think I'll google for the answer.
@Bliss Please do share the links and answers! I'd like to know as well. I'm currently in a zoom with friends - we had been talking about how we detect the "aquifers" and fault lines. We are curious and we would like to know how.
US Geological Svc has great tools and info for all levels.
Here's the beginners section
