  <dc:description>&lt;div id="15577730" class="article-section-wrapper js-article-section js-content-section  " data-section-parent-id="0"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The formation of tectonic ridges by localized vertical uplift along strike-slip faults has long been suspected, but the actual growth of a tectonic ridge during an earthquake has never been documented. During the 1992 Landers, California, earthquake sequence, an awl-shaped, dome-like topographic ridge along the Emerson fault zone increased its height at least 1 m concurrently with 3 m of right-lateral shift across the fault zone containing the ridge. Five deformation vectors within the ridge reveal dilatant behavior in addition to the uplift and shift on boundary faults.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
