"The longest fault shown on the photo runs NW-SE and is about 120 m long. There is also another fault running NE-SW that seems to cross the first fault at its NW end. This other fault appears for about 40 m. Near the SE end of the first fault there is still another crossing fault of unprecised length because it appears only in form of gaps (crevaces) in the ground up to 2 cm wide. These gaps have lengths of the order of a meter or so and appear here and there with uncrevaced ground in between."
