Recall from studying plate tectonics that southeastern Alaska is a transform plate boundary between the North American and the Pacific plates. Recall from studying streams that most valleys on earth are the result of stream erosion, and stream-eroded valleys tend to curve and branch. An exception is fault-controlled valleys, which tend to run in straight lines. As you can see on the map, Desolation Valley, Gilbert Inlet, and Crillon Inlet together compose a single, straight valley. What specific type of fault is likely to lie beneath this straight valley in southeastern Alaska?
