Book Paleoseismology of the Southern Clark Strand of the San Jacinto Fault Zone  Southern California

Download or read book Paleoseismology of the Southern Clark Strand of the San Jacinto Fault Zone Southern California written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present results from a new paleoseismic trench site on the Clark strand of the San Jacinto Fault Zone (SJFZ) in Clark Lake, western Salton Trough, southern California. The trench results suggest that most late Holocene slip along the Clark fault at Clark Lake is localized within a narrow zone, as there are no significant faults in trenches excavated across two other lineaments where faults have been mapped. We have identified up to ten past surface ruptures that have occurred in the last 2,800 years. Using interseismic periods, we calculate an average recurrence interval (RI) of 227 ± 114 years. This RI corresponds well to the record at Hog Lake, located about 50 km to the northwest. At Hog Lake the RI for major ruptures is estimated at 235 ± 116 years. The two most recent events at Clark Lake are likely the November 22, 1800 and ca 1550 earthquakes. These correlate to events 2 and 3 at Hog Lake, based on mapping of small geomorphic offsets along the Clark fault. The next three events, E3 to E5, correlate to a cluster of events (E-4 to E-8) at Hog Lake. The E5 and E7 events at Hog Lake are not seen at Clark Lake. These events in the Hog Lake cluster likely correspond to earthquakes that ruptured only the northern part of the SJFZ, similar to what occurred in the 1918 M6.9 earthquake. These observations suggest that the entire Clark fault fails together in some large earthquakes (Mw7.3) whereas the northern Clark fault may fail more frequently in M6.5-6.9 earthquakes, as occurred in 1899 and 1918.

Book Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones

Download or read book Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones written by Joao C. Duarte and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones bridges the gap between the classic plate tectonic theory and new emerging ideas, offering an assessment of the state-of-the-art, pending questions, and future directions in the study of transform plate boundaries and fracture zones. The book includes a number of case studies and reviews on both oceanic and continental tectonic settings. Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones is a timely reference for a variety of researchers, including geophysicists, seismologists, structural geologists and tectonicists, as well as specialists in exploration geophysics and natural hazards. This book can also be used as an up-to-date reference at universities in both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Reviews ideas and concepts about transform plate boundaries and fracture zones Includes a variety of case studies on both oceanic and continental settings Addresses innovative and provocative ideas about the activity of fracture zones and transform faults and their impacts to the human society

Book excerpt: Paleoseismology has become an important component of seismic risk analysis, which is mandated for nuclear power plants, dams, waste repositories, and other critical structures. This book is the first in the English language to be devoted solely to paleoseismology. It summarizes the development of the field from the 1960s to the present, encompassing material that is currently widely dispersed in journal articles. Includes a comprehensive review of the techniques currently used in paleoseismology Emphasizes practical methods of data collection and field studies Covers interpretation of field data based on current theory concerning fault segmentation and recurrence cycles Contains more than 170 line drawings and 50 photographs of paleoseismic phenomena
