Download or read book High Geologic Slip Rates Since Early Pleistocene Initiation of the San Jacinto and San Felipe Fault Zones in the San Andreas Fault System, Southern California, USA written by and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The San Jacinto right-lateral strike-slip fault zone is crucial for understanding plate-boundary dynamics, regional slip partitioning, and seismic hazards within the San Andreas fault system of southern California, yet its age of initiation and long-term average slip rate are controversial. This synthesis of prior and new detailed studies in the western Salton Trough documents initiation of structural segments of the San Jacinto fault zone at or slightly before the 1.07 Ma base of the Jaramillo subchron. In Special Paper 475, five new estimates of displacement are developed using offset successions of crystalline rocks; distinctive marker beds in the late Cenozoic basin fill; analysis of strike-slip-related fault-bend folds; quantification of strain in folds at the tips of dextral faults; and gravity, magnetic, and geomorphic data sets."--Publisher's website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of the ten chapters in this volume critically examine the geologic evidence that constrains timing and magnitude of movement on various faults of the San Andreas system, and they develop and discuss paleogeologic reconstructions based on these constraints. The volume offers new insight into the evolution of the San Andreas fault system,
Book Synopsis Active Tectonics by : National Research Council
Download or read book Active Tectonics written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 250,000 people were killed in the Tangshan, China earthquake of 1976, and other less active tectonic processes can disrupt river channels or have a grave impact on repositories of radioactive wastes. Since tectonic processes can be critical to many human activities, the Geophysics Study Committee Panel on Active Tectonics has presented an evaluation of the current state of knowledge about tectonic events, which include not only earthquakes but volcanic eruptions and similar events. This book addresses three main topics: the tectonic processes and their rates, methods of identifying and evaluating active tectonics, and the effects of active tectonics on society.
Book Synopsis Testing for Quaternary Fault Slip Rate Variability on the Southern San Jacinto Fault Zone, California by : Kimberly Diem Chi Blisniuk
Download or read book Testing for Quaternary Fault Slip Rate Variability on the Southern San Jacinto Fault Zone, California written by Kimberly Diem Chi Blisniuk and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the mechanics of plate boundaries and associated seismic hazards requires evaluation of how slip is distributed over Quaternary timescales along individual faults, across fault zones, and entire fault systems. Documenting such slip distributions over multiple time scales is challenging due to the difficultly of obtaining reliable ages for offset landforms. For instance, exposure ages from cosmogenic isotopes can be significantly affected by surface processes, and U-series dating of pedogenic carbonate provides only minimum ages because carbonate accumulation occurs after deposition. Fortunately, the controlling factors for the resulting age and age uncertainties of each method are relatively independent from each other, so a combination of cosmogenic isotope and U-series dating may significantly improve the reliability of landform dating and yield more reliable slip rate estimates. To understand how deformation is shared across the Pacific and North American plate boundary, a comprehensive slip rate history is presented at multiple locations and time-intervals from 6 sites across the paired Clark and Coyote Creek faults of the southern San Jacinto fault zone. Offsets are constrained from field mapping and high-resolution LiDAR topography data, and displaced alluvial fans were dated with U-series on pedogenic carbonate clast-rinds and/or in situ cosmogenic 10Be. In general, these results show that, in an arid setting where post-depositional processes are limited and multiple dating techniques can be applied, self-consistent landform ages may be obtained to yield reliable slip rate estimates. The results from this study show that (1) the rate of deformation across the southern San Jacinto fault zone has remained uniform and constant in time and space over at least the past 40 kyr, and probably since its early Quaternary initiation, (2) pronounced slip rate gradients exist along the length of both the Clark and Coyote Creek faults, declining from the northwest to the southeast, and (3) summed slip rates of ~13 to 17 mm/yr across the bedrock portion of southern San Jacinto fault zone suggests that since at least the latest Pleistocene, deformation across the Pacific-North America plate boundary has been partitioned fairly evenly between the southern San Andreas fault zone and San Jacinto fault zone.
Book Synopsis Observatory Seismology by : Joe J. Litehiser
Download or read book Observatory Seismology written by Joe J. Litehiser and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first effective seismographs were built between 1879 and 1890. In 1885, E. S. Holden, an astronomer and then president of the University of California, instigated the purchase of the best available instruments of the time "to keep a register of all earthquake shocks in order to be able to control the positions of astronomical instruments." These seismographs were installed two years later at Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton and at the Berkeley campus of the University. Over the years those stations have been upgraded and joined by other seismographic stations administered at Berkeley, to become the oldest continuously operating stations in the Western Hemisphere. The first hundred years of the Seismographic Stations of the University of California at Berkeley, years in which seismology has often assumed an unforeseen role in issues of societal and political importance, ended in 1987. To celebrate the centennial a distinguished group of fellows, staff, and friends of the Stations met on the Berkeley campus in May 1987. The papers they presented are gathered in this book, a distillation of the current state of the art in observatory seismology. Ranging through subjects of past, present, and future seismological interest, they provide a benchmark reference for years to come. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1989.
