The Anaimalai Hills are located at a junction of the Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats and have a general northwest-southeast trend.
Within the first several decades of the event, Koto and Omori documented the comprehensive fault breaks that were visible on the surface, and a later investigation by T. Matsuda revealed that the breaks followed a general northwest-southeast trend.
This high is limited on the east by a Northwest-Southeast trending fault.
In addition, a number of northwest-southeast trending dextral strike-slip faults (e.g., the Talas-Fergana fault) were active (Nelson et al. 1987).
The next deformation event is characterised by an array of originally east-southeast trending shear zones that truncate and offset the Musgravian structural grain with apparent dextral displacements of up to 1 km.
The Canadian Rockies consist of several northwest-southeast trending ranges.
North American breeders have a more southeasterly trend, many birds wintering in southeast Canada, with smaller numbers in the north central and northeastern US states.
A strong northwest to southeast thickness trend indicates that most Peoria Loess in Nebraska was transported from one or more unglaciated northwestern source areas rather than from glacially influenced river floodplains.
