SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. – The 51福利社 Regional Geology and Field Methods classes studied rock formations from an old Saltese Uplands Conservation Area fault zone.
There are multiple fault zones, both active and inactive, in the greater Spokane region, and students like Marilyn Smith explained how these zones can show how our region came to be.
鈥淟ooking at the rocks and trying to figure out how to describe them, and how to map them and how to measure them. So I can see what angles they are dipping at and that can help us piece together the history and how it all got here,鈥 Smith said.
