A blind thrust fault is a geological term for a type of thrust fault which does not appear on the surface - where a hanging wall makes an angle with the horizontal of less than 45 degrees, but is hidden from view.

What kind of fault did the northridge earthquake occur on?
it happened on a blind fault (one where the fault line does not reach the surface)
How do you tell if someone is blind?
Ask them; they shouldn't be ashamed of their vision, don't worry about that. If they are, it's their fault... not yours NOT TRUE, it might not be their fault
Name of blind thrust fault under Los Angeles?
The blind thrust fault located under Los Angeles is known as the Hollywood Fault. This fault is part of a system of faults that can generate significant seismic activity, posing a risk to the densely populated areas of the city. Its potential for large earthquakes makes it a focus of geological studies and urban planning efforts.
What fault line did the 1931 napier earthquake happen on?
The Napier-Hastings fault. Its' a blind fault and only ruptured he surface along a 15km stretch of the fault.
What is a thrust fault is a?
A blind thrust fault is a geological term for a type of thrust fault which does not appear on the surface - where a hanging wall makes an angle with the horizontal of less than 45 degrees, but is hidden from view.
How was the 1994 Northridge earthquake caused?
It is believed that movement on a blind thrust fault underneath the San Fernando Valley caused the Northridge earthquake. The fault is known as 'blind' as it does not show any surface features, meaning that seismologists did not know the fault existed before the earthquake.
Who is at fault if you were backed all the way out of the parking spot when you were hit by another driver who was only part way out and claims you were in her blind spot?
Is it possible that you are both at fault? The person backing out is at fault. He was stopped and should have been looking before backing out. However, if the parking lot is designed so that you can only go one way, then you may be at fault. The insurance companies will look at the police report and fight it out.
Whose fault is it when an accident occurs while changing lanes?
Determining fault in a lane-changing accident depends on the specific circumstances. Factors such as signaling, checking blind spots, and yielding right of way can all play a role in assigning fault. It is important to follow traffic laws and drive attentively to prevent accidents while changing lanes.
Are you at fault if you are backing out and someone pulls out behind you from a blind spot?
And hits you? Yes, unless that someone was speeding or otherwise careless (ran a red-light etc).
Who is at fault if you back into a car that is cutting through a parking lot and in your blind spot?
If the car was crossing yellow or white lines then they are. Otherwise it is your responsibilty as a driver to watch for all other vehicles and pedestrians.
Who is at fault if truck backs into hind end of stopped Sm car when 3 quarters of car should be visible in truck drivers Rf mirror and driver says car was in his blind spot?
The person backing up always has the burden of doing so safely. Therefore, the driver of the truck would be at fault.
What type of fault is most dangerous to structure?
The most dangerous type of fault to structures is a strike-slip fault, particularly when it is classified as a right-lateral or left-lateral fault. These faults involve horizontal movement of the Earth's crust, which can lead to significant lateral displacement of buildings and infrastructure during an earthquake. Additionally, blind thrust faults, which are not visible at the surface, can also pose severe risks because they can generate powerful earthquakes with little to no warning, often impacting densely populated areas.
