Turøyvegen
The earthquake was caused by movements along fault zones in the bedrock where the blocks of rock chafed against each other. In Devonian time, there were many big earthquakes that caused Hordaland to be broken up along fault zones. Some of these faults are visible along road cuts between Tofteøyna and Turøyna islands. Along the Hordaland coast, earthquakes still occur sometimes, though the quakes tend to be weaker.
Sandviksfjellet
On Sandviksfjellet there are old boulders that have been made into mountains. The stones have been stretched out or squeezed together between huge slabs of rock, during slow, but powerfulprocesses of transport. This conglomerate shows, in quite a special way, the enormous powers that were active during the collision between Norway and Greenland over 400 million years ago.
