Beneath the Tintina Trench lies the Tintina Fault which is a strike-slip fault. A strike-slip fault moves laterally rather than up and down.
This means that over a period of time, river systems are forced to change course to adjust to the sideways movement of the land. The famous San Andres fault in California is an example of a strike-slip fault. In addition, the Tintina Trench has very rich mineral deposits including the Klondike gold and the lead-zinc deposits near Faro.
