Where are the fault lines on East Coast of US?

Fault lines are really located everywhere, but it's usually the major fault lines that you need to worry about. The recent Virginia earthquake, which occurred on Aug. 23, 2011, was not related to any major geological fault line. However, geologists are concerned with the New York-Alabama Lineament, which is a major magnetic fault line that runs from New York to Alabama. See the Related Link below for more information on fault lines in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.

Where in the US has transforming plates caused a fault line to form that is visible from a plane?

The San Andreas Fault in California is a prominent example of a transform fault line that can be seen from the air. This fault marks the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, and its displacement has created visible linear features on the landscape. When flying over the region, you can observe the distinct straight paths and scarred terrain that trace the fault's course. The San Andreas Fault is well-known for its geological significance and the potential for seismic activity.
