Near the equator fault valleys criss-cross the surface.

The plain, which is formed by fault valleys, has a vast lake called Longlyuantan, together with rising coral tablelands and limestone caves to the east.

Its surface is a tumult of fault valleys, parallel ridges, sheer cliffs, low mountains, impact craters, and frozen floods of once-molten surface material.

The breaking up of the crust occurred about 10 million years ago with large blocks moving and more volcanic lava flows, which created the mountains and block fault valleys of recent time.

The Valley and range sequence-Southern Yuma County is a 3-Valley sequence of NW-by-SE trending block faulted valleys and mountains.

Ariel has the brightest and possibly youngest surface of all the Uranian moons and also appears to have undergone geologic activity that led to many fault valleys and what seem to be extensive flows of icy material.

The ice receded during the temporary warming-which was coming to an end-and melted in the lowland fault valley, creating a large river and a long, moraine-dammed lake, but the plateau glacier on the highland they were crossing stayed frozen.

My starting point was the pastel-and-pen sketch at right, of Thingvellir, a spectacular fault valley or graben in Iceland, which I visited in 1981 and again in 1988, this time with the IAAA (see Alien Earth).

The fault line, which skims across the top of Central Park and runs to Roosevelt Island to the southeast, creates a fault valley deep enough to require the IRT Broadway - Seventh Avenue Line to use a trestle bridge between 122nd and 135th Streets.
