Older on top of younger -- yay for thrust faults! If I remember, I think this is called the Keystone Thrust. Note the person on the hillslope just below the gray cliff for scale.

The report said: “We define the Wilmington blind‐thrust as a tectonically active fault capable of generating large damaging earthquakes, through analysis of 2D and 3D seismic reflection surveys.

AN ENORMOUS exposed fault line beneath Mount Everest is threatening to trigger ANOTHER cataclysmic earthquake with the force to MOVE the world's tallest mountain and bring disaster to Nepal.

Since 2001 this thrust fault has only raised northwest Spokane over the top of northeast Spokane about 15 millimeters, roughly equal to about the height of your thumbnail. But there is some ...
