Résumé

Des données LiDAR prélevées dans la plaine côtière des Carolines ont mis au jour de nombreux linéaments, principalement orientés du nord-ouest au sud-est, qui traversent l’arc de Cape Fear, parmi lesquels les plus longs sont les linéaments de 50 à 115 kilomètres de longueur orientés du nord-ouest au sud-est de Faison, de Jarmantown, de Livingston Creek et de White Marsh ainsi que le linéament d’une cinquantaine de kilomètres de longueur orienté de l’est-nord-est à l’ouest-sud-ouest de Tomahawk dans le sud-est de la Caroline du Nord. Leur interprétation est essentiellement basée sur des chenaux localement encaissés, des courbes abruptes de cours d’eau, des escarpements topographiques et des secteurs linéaires de sédiments de la plaine côtière soulevés. Le bassin ou pli synforme paléozoïque de Graingers dans le socle précrétacé prend fin au sud-ouest le long de la crête d’environ 28 kilomètres de longueur sur trois à sept kilomètres de largeur de Jarmantown. Le linéament d’environ 115 kilomètres de longueur de Jarmantown pourrait constituer le modelé de la faille précédemment signalée de Neuse, dont l’emplacement a fait l’objet d’une controverse. Le linéament de Jarmantown et les autres linéaments traversant l’arc de Cape Fear laissent supposer que l’arc est d’une forte complexité structurale. Une étude plus poussée du système de failles de la côte est (SFCE) le long du versant occidental de l’arc de Cape Fear en Caroline du Nord a révélé qu’il se trouve beaucoup plus au nord-ouest que précédemment signalé, ce qui en fait un membre continu du SFCE dans le nord-est de la Caroline du Sud, où il crée une inflexion de retenue d’environ 15 degrés. Nous postulons que les failles interprétées traversant l’arc de Cape Fear dans le sud-est de la Caroline du Nord se sont formées pour compenser la compression accrue et la variation du volume découlant du mouvement dextre le long de l’inflexion de la faille. Les dépôts de paléoliquéfaction de l’Holocène près de la côte, une crête de plage verticalement décalée du Pléistocène (?) le long de la faille interprétée de Faison et les failles superficielles du Tertiaire le long du SFCE au nord-est de Smithfield, en Caroline du Nord, permettent de supposer que des séismes importants pourraient être survenus au cours du Quaternaire le long du SFCE, des failles de Faison et de Neuse, ainsi que d’autres failles interprétées traversant l’arc de Cape Fear.
