Science - Geology
Portuguese term or phrase: falha geológica
Estou fazendo uma versão de uma notícia de divulgação científica sobre uma pesquisa que relaciona a escolha da localização da cida inca Machu Picchu por seus moradores com a sua geografia e geologia.

Ex.: O estudo realizado por Rualdo propõe que a escolha da localização da cidade não foi por acaso, pois somente as falhas geológicas proporcionavam as condições materiais, hidrográficas e geográficas necessárias para a sobrevivência dos moradores.
