Leech River Fault[edit]

(

)

... that the Leech River Fault marks the northernmost exposure of the Siletzia terrane, where it is dragged under Vancouver Island by the subducting Juan de Fuca Plate?
ALT1 ... that the Leech River Fault on southern Vancouver Island has not been active since the last glaciation?

I suggest dropping ALT1 — that fact is rather commonplace, and I think hardly of any special interest.
The possible interest in the LRF being the northernmost exposure of Siletzia depends on knowing what Siletzia is. Which is not the general case. All in all I think this topic perhaps lacks points of general interest. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:52, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

How about this:

ALT2 ... that a narrow valley extending across the southern tip of Vancouver Island and past Victoria marks the Leech River Fault, a major geotectonic boundary where the Siletzia terrane dives under Vancouver Island?

I think that is short enough, supported, and "hooks" into some points of broad interest. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 01:53, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

bit wordy - might link geotectonic in the hook. Hook cited, age and size of article ok. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:15, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
