FOR3

The Creepmeter site FOR3 is equipped with two instruments to resolve the strike slip component of the relative displacement observed in the long-term record. Two increments of dextral displacement are observed. A 100 m dextral offset in several large gullies and a 0.5 m dextral offset in several of the small gullies. An additional active normal component of displacement is recorded in sets of retreated knickpoints in gullies incised in the fault scarp. The fault plane at the site strikes190° and dips 76° E.
