  outline boxes link to more detailed maps of areas, Wadi Chadra (in the north), 
  Beaufort - Nabatiye in the south and the Damour valley just to its north. Information 
  associated with these areas allow you to link tectono-geomorphic landforms with 
  an interpretation of tectonic activity. Consequently you can visit the northern 
  area to find evidence for the Yammouneh Fault (or at least this northernmost 
  segment) being inactive as far a strike-slip displacements are concerned for 
  the past 7 Myr. The implication is that landforms further south (which you can 
  visit by clicking on the small boxes) are ancient and do not imply active slip 
  on the fault. You can compare this situation with that of the Roum Fault Zone 
  (in both detailed areas). In these sites, landforms younger that the late Miocene 
  are offset and cut by the fault zone. You can find information on a variety 
  of scales. You can also find evidence for active uplift that happens together 
  with transcurrent motion, particularly by visiting the coastal sites. Compare 
your findings with the seismicity.
