Aspy Fault as seen from the Cabot Trail lookout.The rocks of the main block of Avalonia as they relate to modern coasts and boundaries but in their relative positions as they were at the end of the Carboniferous, before Europe and North America separated again. The names are given in their French forms.

The Aspy Fault ˈ ae s p i 1 is a strike slip fault that runs through 40 km of Cape Breton Nova Scotia and is often thought to be a part of the Cabot Fault Great Glen Fault system of Avalonia 2 3 Part of the fault runs through Cape Breton Highlands National Park This fault runs southward from Cape North through the Margaree Valley The Aspy River and the upper section of the Margaree River follows the trace of the fault Evidence shows movement in this fault dating back to the Ordovician period when it was probably created when two continental plates collided and pushed the seafloor upwards also creating the Appalachian Mountains Erosion and the presence of this fault have created much of the scenery known today as the Cape Breton Highlands citation needed Aspy FaultLocationCape BretonCoordinates46 54 46 2 N 60 31 8 3 WCountryCanadaStateNova ScotiaCharacteristicsLength40kmTectonicsTypestrike slip faultAspy Fault as seen from the Cabot Trail lookout The rocks of the main block of Avalonia as they relate to modern coasts and boundaries but in their relative positions as they were at the end of the Carboniferous before Europe and North America separated again The names are given in their French forms References Edit The Canadian Press 2017 The Canadian Press Stylebook 18th ed Toronto The Canadian Press Wilson Tuzo 14 July 1962 Cabot Fault An Appalachian Equivalent of the San Andreas and Great Glen Faults and some Implications for Continental Displacement Nature 195 4837 135 138 Bibcode 1962Natur 195 135W doi 10 1038 195135a0 Dewey John F Kennedy Michael J Kidd William S F 1983 A geotraverse through the Appalachians of northern Newfoundland PDF In Nicholas Rast Frances M Delany eds Profiles of Orogenic Belts Geodynamics Series Vol 10 American Geophysical Union External links EditWilkie Sugarloaf The Natural History of Nova Scotia 200 Highlands Cape Breton Highlands National Park of Canada Faults and Canyons in Cape Breton Highlands National Park46 54 46 2 N 60 31 8 3 W 46 912833 N 60 518972 W 46 912833 60 518972 This tectonics article is a stub You can help Wikipedia by expanding it vte This Nova Scotia location article is a stub You can help Wikipedia by expanding it vte Retrieved from https en wikipedia org w index php title Aspy Fault amp oldid 1077829498, wikipedia, wiki, book, books, library,
