List Of Geological Faults In Northern Ireland
This is a list of the named geological faults affecting the rocks of Northern Ireland. Terminology See the main article on faults for a fuller treatment of fault types and nomenclature but in brief, the main types are normal faults, reverse faults, thrusts or thrust faults and strike-slip faults. Key to table *Column 1 indicates the name of the fault. Note that different authors may deploy different names for one and the same feature, or a part of a feature. Conversely the same name may be applied to two different features, particularly in the case of smaller faults with a wide geographic separation. *Column 2 indicates the county in which the fault occurs. Some traverse two or more counties of course. *Column 3 indicates the Irish grid reference for the approximate midpoint of the fault (as mapped). Note that the mapped extent of a fault may not correspond to its actual extent. *Column 4 indicates on which sheet of the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland's 1:50,000 scale geo ...
