Asked by Bailey

Wallace Creek has been offset by 130.0 meters (430 feet) to the right along the fault. The age of stream deposits indicates that this offset began 3700 years ago. Based on these figures, calculate the average rate of movement along this segment of the fault in centimeters per year (or inches per year). Keep in mind that your answer is an estimate of the long term average, not the expected movement each year.

130/3700 = 0.03514 meters = 3.5 cm per year

130 meters = 13,000 centimeters
