The image shows Black Crack in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. Our rating: FalseД«ecause it is not supported by our research, we rate FALSEВ the claim that an image shows the San Andreas fault line and that it is 132 kilometers (82 miles) long and 32 kilometers (20 miles) deep. From the air, the arrangement of lakes, bays and valleys along the fault line is much more obvious. TheВ United States Geological Survey described how the fault line creates long straight escarpments, narrow ridges and sharp angles in channels. The earthquake and the massive fire it caused killedВ at least 700 people.ДЇact check: Viral image depicts 2018 protest in France about fuel tax hikesДespite its size, the fault line's appearanceВ is surprisingly subtle from the ground. In 1906, sudden displacement along the fault line caused the historic San Francisco earthquake. The faultвЂ™s tectonic movements have been involved in several large earthquakes. It is more than 16 kilometersВ (10 miles) deep. The San Andreas FaultВ trends northwestward for more than 1,287 kilometers (800 miles) across California.
