Abstract
Geologic observations have indicated that moderate- to large-scale faults have moved repeatedly in the recent geologic past. This allows us to evaluate the future behavior of a fault based on geologic information. In this paper, the essential characteristics of active faults are reviewed, and problems in evaluating surface faulting by using geologic information are discussed.
