YES, but, Is that steep cliff at the coast of Oregon along Highway 1 to 
the west at the ocean
is that cliff an Earthquake SCARP ??
Its like vertical and a couple hundred feet high ??
These things have been known to instantly form
in front of people (but not that big) such as a
jeep driving on a dirt road during an Earthquake.
A simple yes or no will be more appropriate for myself to understand.

I'm a poor ex-military soul who is used to simple answers.

geoff
