USE OF SMALL-SCALE LIQUEFACTION FEATURES TO ASSESS PALEOSEISMICITY: AN EXAMPLE FROM THE SALINE RIVER FAULT ZONE, SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS, U.S.A.

USE OF SMALL-SCALE LIQUEFACTION FEATURES TO ASSESS PALEOSEISMICITY: AN EXAMPLE FROM THE SALINE RIVER FAULT ZONE, SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS, U.S.A.

Large-scale liquefaction features (e.g., sand blows, lateral-spread fissure vents) that can be recognized on remote-sensing imagery and photography have been of great utility in developing chronologies of paleo-earthquakes. In areas where large-scale features are obscured on imagery by forest cover...
