Central Wales Lineament : ウィキペディア英語版 | Central Wales Lineament The Central Wales Lineament is a north-south aligned zone of geological faults and folds which runs for scores of miles through Wales and which gives rise to a number of landscape features. The lineament lies along the axis of the Central Wales Syncline,〔Howells, M.F. 2007 ''British Regional Geology: Wales'' (Keyworth, Nottingham: British Geological Survey) p93〕 both following the generally northeast-southwest Caledonide trend though its central section is more north-south aligned.〔British Geological Survey 1996 ''Tectonic map of Britain, Ireland and adjacent areas''. Pharoah, T.C. et al (compilers) 1:1,500,000 (Keyworth, Nottingham: British Geological Survey)〕 The Tafolog Fault which runs north from Llanbrynmair is one component structure in the central section of the lineament and along which Cwm Tafolog has been eroded. The Dylife Fault, a southerly continuation of the same fault is coincident with the valley of the Afon Twymyn.〔British Geological Survey 2012 ''Dinas Mawddwy'' England and Wales sheet 150 Bedrock & superficial deposits 1:50,000 (Keyworth, Nottingham: British Geological Survey)〕 The section of the valley east of the former lead-mining village of Dylife is spectacularly incised into the landscape making this one of the most readily recognisable parts of the lineament. The lineament continues southwards as a series of offset north-south faults, crossing the Wye valley just west of Llangurig.〔British Geological Survey 2012 ''Llanidloes'' England and Wales sheet 164 Bedrock & superficial deposits 1:50,000 (Keyworth, Nottingham: British Geological Survey)〕 The lineament continues south passing through the top end of Cwm Ystwyth where it meets the head of the Elan valley and then southwest where its main component is the Claerwen Fault〔British Geological Survey 2012 ''Rhayader'' England and Wales sheet 179 Bedrock & superficial deposits 1:50,000 (Keyworth, Nottingham: British Geological Survey)〕 ==References==
