Active Faulting

Active Faulting is a tectonic process characterized by the ongoing displacement along a geological fault during the Quaternary period, distinguished from inactive or ancient faulting by its measurable geomorphic expression and potential for generating contemporary seismic activity within the framework of active tectonics and tectonic geomorphology.
