Service Description: AbstractThis dataset shows tectonic and surface features across Australia that are linked, or may be linked, to significant seismic activity over the past 5 to 10 million years.It includes four main parts:Neotectonic features – these fault lines that may show where large earthquakes happened in the past.Reliability layer – each feature has a rating from A to D that shows our level of confidence.Neotectonic images – JPEG images are linked to feature IDs, when they are available.Neotectonic domains – these areas group features that behave in similar ways, such as their shape, how fast they move, and the type of crust they sit on.Together, these layers help assess earthquake risk. They also show how Australia’s crust has changed over time due to tectonic forces.For further detail, see: Long-term behaviour of Australian stable continental region faults.CurrencyDate created: 01 January 2012Modification frequency: As NeededData extentSpatial extentNorth: -9°South: -44°East: 168°West: 96°Source informationView the Neotectonic features databaseView the Neotectonic domainsLineage statementThis dataset shows landscape features in Australia caused by tectonic activity over the last 5-10 million years. These are called neotectonic features. The data was collected by using maps from satellite images, aerial photos, and digital elevation models (DEMs). DEMs show the shape of the land. The team also used geological maps, research papers, and advice from experts. These experts include state geologists and earth scientists.The list of neotectonic features is not complete. Its accuracy depends on the data available. This includes DEMs, mining records, and survey reports. The list is also affected by how much loose soil covers the land, as neotectonic features can be hidden. It also depends on how quickly the land changes (e.g. through erosion) compared to tectonic movements. Many areas in inland and northern Australia have not been studied in detail. Most information comes from DEMs with a 30-metre resolution.The team mapped these features using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). They stored the results in a cloud database with extra information called metadata. Scientists are still checking if these features are tectonic faults. So far, fewer than 20 out of more than 400 features have been closely studied. These studies help find out when earthquakes happened, how often they occur, and how strong they were.Note: The Neotectonic features line layer pop-up reads all geological information related to earthquakes from Reliability point layer.PublicationsClark, D., A.
