Running southwest-northeast across Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, the Brevard Fault Zone (or the Brevard Zone of Cataclasis) is a prominent geologic feature of the Southeast United States. Geologists continue to debate the Brevard's structure and significance, and the nature and direction of ancient movement on the fault. The Brevard has been interpeted as a left-lateral strike-slip fault, a right-lateral strike-slip fault, a normal fault, or a thrust fault. At one time, it was thought to represent the suture where Proto-Africa joined Proto-North America to form Pangea, although rocks on one side of the fault generally resemble those on the other side. Structural clues to movement are ambiguous; however, the "smeared" shapes of some granite bodies suggest right-lateral movement. The fault -- fortunately for us -- last moved about 185 million years ago, so the question is not of practical urgency. Rocks in the Brevard zone are profoundly sheared and fractured; they include mylonites, button schists, and gneisses. In many segments, Brevard Zone topography features rhythmically-spaced parallel ridges, which control much of the Chattahoochee River's course. Cited from http://home.att.net/~cochrans/brevrd01.htm

Fault zones are areas where there are many interconnected faults.
The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known active fault zone that generates earthquakes. Other examples include the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. These fault zones experience frequent seismic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.
The San Andreas fault zone is located at a transform boundary, where two plates are grinding past one another horizontally. As the rocks grind past one another, shear stress causes rock to break into a series of blocks. The blocks form a series of strike-slip faults—the typical fault type along the San Andreas fault.

In the Brevard Fault Zone, you can learn about the geology of the region, fault activity, and seismic hazards associated with the zone. Studying this area can help scientists understand how faults influence the landscape and seismic activity in the southeastern United States.
Red foxes and white tailed deer can make their way into the Brevard fault zone. Other animals can include timber rattlesnakes, the great horned owl, raccoons, and possibly opossums.

Mount Pinatubo is on a destructive plate boundary; it is above a subduction zone

Krakatoa is located on a destructive plate margin where the Indo-Australian plate subducts beneath the Eurasian plate. This subduction zone has led to the formation of volcanic islands in the region, including Krakatoa.
A fault is where to tectonic plates meet but a fault zone is the area around a fault.
