Description

The low scarp just beyond my Jeep marks the trace of the surface rupture of the 1872 Lone Pine M~7.8 Earthquake (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1872_Lone_Pine_earthquake Will open in a new tab or window). The quake occured on a normal fault that bounds the east side of the Alabama Hills and displaced the surface here over 10 vertical feet - in addition to right-lateral strike slip motion of almost 40 feet. Quakes of this magnitude in this area are expected to have a recurrence interval of 3000-4000 years.
