The Urrao Fault (Spanish: Falla de Urrao) is a sinistral oblique strike-slip fault in the department of Antioquia in northwestern Colombia. The fault has a total length of 30.5 kilometres (19.0 mi) and runs along an average north to south strike of 003.6 ± 1 in the Western Ranges of the Colombian Andes.

Etymology

The fault is named after Urrao.[1]

Description

This set of two parallel faults extend along the axis of the Western Ranges of the Colombian Andes, close to the valleys of the Anacosca and Penderisco Rivers, and the plateau of the Frontino Páramo. Located to the west of the city of Medellín, the faults mainly displace Tertiary sedimentary rocks.[1] The west branch of the fault has mainly normal slip as observed from offset alluvial terraces. The fault forms spectacular fault scarps on terraces. These scarps are 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) long and as much as 50 metres (160 ft) high. Most of the fault trace has a moderate alignment of topographic features, such as linear streams and offset spurs. Quaternary alluvial sediments of the Penderisco River are offset an unknown amount. The slip rate is estimated at 0.2 to 1 millimetre (0.0079 to 0.0394 in) per year deduced from displaced Quaternary sediments.[2]

Outlaw

Person declared as outside the protection of the law This article is about the legal concept. For other uses, see Outlaw (disambiguation). An outlaw, in its original and legal meaning, is a person declared as outside the protection of the law. In pre-modern societies, all legal protection was withdrawn from the criminal, so anyone was legally empowered to persecute or kill them. Outlawry was thus one of the harshest penalties in the legal system. In early Germanic law, the death penalty is co...
