Offset In 2002, a large earthquake (Moment Magnitude 7.9) struck the Denali Fault in Alaska. At this spot, the fault surface rupture crossed the Canwell glacier, producing a spectacular offset fracture in the ice. The USGS scientist in this shot is working to match up two piercing points on the fault surface so that he can measure how far the fault ruptured at this site. If you look at the channel just to his right, you can see that the fault had both up-down and right lateral motion. This is considered “Dip-slip” motion – the fault moved in a direction that was a combination of strike-slip and reverse directions. -JBB Image credit: USGS https://flic.kr/p/oKjEna
