These data provide an inventory of the visible trace of ground rupture lines in and around the town of Sparta, Alleghany County, North Carolina, that are associated with the August 9th, 2020 M5.1 earthquake.  They are divided into faults, coseismic tension cracks, and landslide scarps.
This feature class contains the locations of the visible trace of ground ruptures associated with downward or horizontal slope movement. Many of these features are at the head of recent to active slope movement processes and are associated with the Process Points feature class in the Slope Movement geodatabase. Ground rupture lines are primarily derived from field mapping, the interpretation of aerial photography, and the 6-meter LiDAR-derived hillshade base. These features are useful for reexamination of the site at a later date to monitor any changes in the ground rupture size or to determine if new ground ruptures have occurred. Such changes can indicate that the slope continues to move.
