California's Antelope Valley

The Antelope Valley is bounded by two of the most active faults in California:  the Garlock fault, which fronts the distant mountains in this view, and the San Andreas fault, part of which is seen bounding the mountains in the left foreground.  In this view, the Antelope Valley is in the foreground, the Tehachapi Mountains form the left skyline, and ranges within the southernmost Sierra Nevada from the right skyline.  The Antelope Valley is directly north of Los Angeles.  (Image credit - NASA)
