Description :
The present paper considers fault-related features as the result of the interplay of constructive influences (tectonic activity) and destructive influences (erosional and depositional activity).Variables affecting the geomorphological expression of faulting are outlined with reference to examples along the San Andreas fault, and their significance for assessing strike-slip faulting activity is discussed.
