We love getting questions about mining, minerals and geology! We were asked about Nova Scotia’s version of the San Andreas Fault - the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault System!
Nova Scotia has two halves geologically...

#NovaScotia has 2 halves geologically: The northern half came from Europe and the southern half from Africa. The Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault System is where they collided 400 million years ago. This caused earthquakes, melted rocks+concentration of minerals like #gold+zinc.

People sometimes think of it as a single fault that cuts the province in half. In fact, it's a fault zone or system, not a single fault. There are several large parallel, or nearly parallel, faults that collectively make up the system.
