| Landscape disturbance events (e.g., earthquakes, slope failures) play key roles in landscape evolution in tectonically active areas. Along the 75-km Teton fault, fault scarps vary in height by up to tens of meters over short (<1 km) distances. LiDAR-based mapping indicates that scarp height is affected by glacial geomorphology, slope failure, and alluvial processes. I propose a four-section model of the Teton fault based on vertical separation across fault scarpsand the expected pattern of normal fault behavior. At a broad scale, vertical separationis greatest along the southernportion of thefault. At a finer scale, vertical separationis lowerat the ends of the fault and at three locations within the central fault zone, and higher between these areas. The transition zones between these four sections may represent boundaries between fault sections or segmentsand may have important implications for hazards analysis.Key words: Teton Range, Teton fault, LiDAR, slope failure |
