Geological and Geophysical Studies of the Atacama Fault Zone in Northern Chile

<p>The Atacama fault, a suggested regional strike-slip fracture parallel to the coastline of northern Chile, is a major structural break that has undergone a complicated history of movement since Mesozoic time. Abundant Quaternary scarps attest to continuing activity; however, the Ataca...
