Port Hills Fault

Target entity: Port Hills Fault
Context triple: [2011 Christchurch earthquake sequence, relatedTo, Port Hills Fault]

• A. Greendale Fault
  The Greendale Fault is a previously unrecognized tectonic fault in New Zealand’s Canterbury region that ruptured during the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, producing significant ground deformation across the rural landscape.
• B. Queen Charlotte Fault
  The Queen Charlotte Fault is a major transform fault off the Pacific Northwest coast that marks the tectonic boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates and is a significant source of earthquakes in the region.
• C. Garlock Fault
  The Garlock Fault is a major left-lateral strike-slip fault in southern California that forms the northern boundary of the Mojave Desert and plays a key role in the region’s complex tectonic deformation.
• D. Gloria Fault
  The Gloria Fault is a major transform fault in the North Atlantic Ocean that forms part of the boundary between the Eurasian and African tectonic plates near the Azores region.
• E. Fairweather Fault
  The Fairweather Fault is a major strike-slip fault in southeastern Alaska that forms part of the Pacific–North American plate boundary and is associated with significant seismic activity.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
