When faults turn right or left, totally different things happen. Turn right and the land in the Middle is pulled apart, the land drops until it gets thin enough for volcanoes to break through.  Turn left and the land in the middle gets shoved together, breaking rocks up as they are compressed, then thickened enough to build mountains.  |

Is this already known? |

Is this already known? Yes, long time known to geologists. It is what happened at The Dead Sea, Death valley, and the Salton Sea. |

Would it be vice versa or the same in the Southern Hemisphere?

Would it be vice versa or the same in the Southern Hemisphere? Depends on which directions the land is moving. Will the land in the curve be pulled apart, or compressed? |

Haiti's fault lines must be taking a left turn. One of my old friends there had some land by the sea rise nearly a meter back in the 2010 major seismic event.
