From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Queen Charlotte Fault is a transform fault, located between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. The fault has been an area with large earthquakes. During the Miocene, the Queen Charlotte region was warmed and thinned so that both of the plates have similar powered structures. Studying the Queen Charlotte Fault would offer further important information in studying the forcefulness of the San Andreas Fault and other likely critical seismogenic zones of the world.
