| Offset curb along the Campus Circle parking area on the north side of the campus of Contra Costa College. Note that this offset curb shows displacement that is left lateral (not right lateral—see strike-slip fault defined in the Glossary). Displacements that are atypical of the fault motion may reflect complex ground motion, rotation of surface blocks, or may not even be fault related (for example, such a displacement can be caused by a tree growing nearby). |
