Figure 37. A, Map showing relationship between lateral ramps and major N. 60°-70° W.-trending lineament zones in the central and southern Appalachians and transform faults offshore (transform faults modified from Schouten and Klitgord, 1977). The transform faults are expressed as gaps in the positive magnetic sea-floor spreading lineations. Only two positive magnetic sea-floor-spreading lineation zones (nos. 15 and 25; Schouten and Klitgord, 1977) are represented. B, Same as A but with 25 mi left-lateral movement. Because of the left-lateral movement, latitude and longitude are not shown.
