Near the northern end of the 80-km-long Chelungpu rupture, a waterfall seven meters high was instantly formed across the Tachia River during the Chi-Chi, Taiwan earthquake. Because of the large magnitude and shallow depth of the earthquake, excellent exposure of the fault scarp is seen over the entire length of the thrust fault.
