Surface rupture from the Landers earthquake.  The fault movement in the earthquake was mostly sideways; i.e., the two sides of the faults movement horizontally relative to one-another.  The fault scarp at the surface was most dramatic in places where the two sides of the fault moved both vertically and horizontally relative to one-another.
