Different between fault-line scarp and fault scarp?
"A fault line and fault are the same cause the fault line has the same traces for a fault :}} have fun" That is incorrect. A fault is displaced ground, where the footwall (or hanging wall in the case of reverse faults) has been upthrust and an area of strata is exposed that was previously below the surface. A fault-line scarp is an erosional feature, often resultant from reverse faults, because their scarps are gravitationally unstable and are almost always associated with inactive and old faults. Differential erosion can work away at less resistant beds while leaving behind a scarp of more resistant beds.
