Are there any nuclear plants on fault lines?
Perhaps, because not all faults are apparent until they move. And to answer your question, yes, since there are many many faults located, there are also over 100 nuclear plants in the US itself and faults need to be built were cooling water is available, such as a river, and faults are originally located along some rivers. So yes, plants are built along fault lines inevitably.
Lithograph by Peter Hayward 'Indian Summer' What is the value of a lithograph of Peter Hayward's 'Indian Summer'?
I have a painting called Indian Summer by Peter Hayward.. It is framed in the original frame, about 24in. wide and 4ft.long. I was curious who or where I go to get an estimation of any worth.
What do scientists think is the risk of an earthquake near San Francisco?
The odds of experiencing an earthquake, at least a tremor in San Fransisco on any given day are pretty good. The west coast of the US, especially California is one of the most geologically active areas of the country. Positioned in such close proximity to so many major and minor faults, earthquakes in most California cities are pretty common.According to the USGS, the probability of the San Francisco area experiencing at least one magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake in the next 30 years is about 63%, distributed among these faults as follows:Hayward fault about 31%San Andreas fault about 21%San Gregorio fault about 10%Calveras fault about 7%Concord fault about 4%etc.See: http://www.earthquakesafety.com/earthquake-faults.html
Why doesn't the UK have many earthquakes?
Ohio is not located near any major fault lines. Ohio does occasionally get earthquakes but they're low of the Richter scale. Usually only in the 3's. The strongest I remember was in the 5's. I only remember one in my lifetime (43 years) that I could actually feel.
Are there any active fault lines in the US?
Yes, the San Andreas fault, in America. This caused the San Francisco earthquake in 1906.
What does this quote mean The greatest of faults you should say is to be conscious of none?
The worst fault would be that you are unaware you have any faults at all. (To be walking around thinking you are perfect and free of any faults)
What are dip slip faults?
Dip-slip faults is the term used for any fault that has movement in the vertical direction. One side moves up where as the other side moves down. Examples are Normal Fault and Reverse fault.
What type of fault causes earthquakes?
Earthquakes are typically caused by movement along a fault line, which is a fracture in the Earth's crust where rocks have shifted position relative to each other. The three main types of faults that can cause earthquakes are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults.
What are the examples of inactive faults in the Philippines?
Oh honey, let me tell you, the Philippines has more inactive faults than I have ex-husbands! Some examples include the West Valley Fault, Manila Trench, and the Central Philippine Fault. These bad boys may be dormant now, but don't let them fool you - they can still shake things up when they feel like it.

What is the definition for a strike slip fault?
A strike-slip fault is a type of fault where rocks on either side move past each other horizontally due to shearing forces. This movement can occur in either a left-lateral or right-lateral direction, depending on the relative motion of the blocks on either side of the fault.
Why is it hazardous to live near a fault?
Living near a fault is hazardous because faults can generate earthquakes, leading to property damage, injuries, and loss of life. Strong ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis are potential risks associated with living near active faults.
Difference between joint and fault?
A joint is a fracture in a rock where there has not been any significant movement along the fracture surface. A fault is a fracture where there has been movement along the fracture surface. Joints do not displace the rock on either side of the fracture, while faults involve displacement.
Does splinter cell conviction have any swearing?
Actually, splinter cell conviction doesn't have very much swearing.
How do the four instruments that are used to detect faults work?
four instruments that are used to detect faults are: creep meters, laser-ranging devices, tiltmeters, and satellites. how they work: a creep meter uses a wire stretched across a fault to measure sideways movement the ground. a laser-ranging device uses a laser beam bounced off a reflector to detect any fault movements
What is fault in badmiton?
A fault in badminton refers to a violation of the rules during play. Common faults include serving or returning the shuttlecock incorrectly, stepping into the opponent's court during play, and touching the net with your racket or body while the shuttlecock is in play. Any fault results in a point being awarded to the opponent.
