But some in the green movement are on the other side of the fault line.
Two plastic hinges are assumed to form on either side of the fault plane.
This tilt zone includes longitudinal (fault parallel) fractures, which may extend over the uplifted side of the fault much beyond the tilt zone.
The damage is dramatically higher along a strip on the up-thrown northeast (hangingwall) side of the fault, where the land is coseismically tilted, folded, and fractured.
Pharmaceuticals and other bioscience-related activities fell to one side of the fault line; the traditional chemical businesses fell to the other.
Strike-slip faults are right lateral or left lateral, depending on whether the block on the opposite side of the fault from an observer has moved to the right or left.
On one side of the fault line is a displaced, marginalized and at times all but invisible working class, frequently imagined as both the makers and takers of meth.
Such a fault is a fracture in the terrestrial surface in which the rock material on the upper side of the fault plane has been displaced downward relative to the rock below the fault.
The ground motion in such quakes is mostly horizontal — in Sulawesi, the rocks on either side of the fault lurched past each other by more than 10 feet — and rarely produce tsunamis.
The businesses on the other side of the fault line the chemical group were more disparate than those on the bioscience side and contained some units, such as paints and explosives, that might have been strong enough to thrive as independent companies.
The United States Geological Survey even has a full-time scientist here, an affable Montanan named Andy Snyder, who spends much of his day tending to all the gizmos that measure movement along the tectonic plates -- the Pacific on one side of the fault, the North American on the other.
