Leech River Fault

 * ... 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)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg 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)
