Just sort of curious~it seems like they've been discovering several new faults recently. Surely they aren't new, are they? Wouldn't they just be coming to light now because of better instruments and equipment?

They are brand spanking new! They still have that "new fault smell" too~!

Just kidding. It was a good article. Who knows how many fault lines there are splintered off the larger fault lines.
