Abstract

Active growth faults cutting the land surface around the coast of the Gulf of Mexico represent a serious geohazard. Considering the average movement of these faults is a few inches per decade, the potential is high for structural damage to highways, industrial buildings, residential houses, and railroads that cross these features.
