Book excerpt: This is a beautifully illustrated general-interest book on the most famous fault on Earth. The San Andreas Fault, site of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and many others, is the boundary between two of the earth's crustal plates, and it is a major architect of California's diverse landscapes.

Book excerpt: The San Andreas Fault Zone covers almost the entire length of western California. Some sections are simple while others are more complex extending from the Gulf of California through the Salton Trough into the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains, through the Carrizo Plain into Parkfield, on into the San Francisco Bay, Point Reyes, and ending in the Mendocino Triple Junction. This book attempts to characterize the geologic structure, geophysics, and stratigraphy on both sides of the fault. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the setting of the San Andreas Fault System. Chapter 2 discusses the Salton Sea Trough, the Gulf of California, and the Imperial Valley. Chapter 3 presents the fault zone through the Transverse Ranges, mainly consisting of the San Gabriel and the San Bernardino Mountains. Chapter 4 addresses the creeping segment of the Carrizo Plain, Cholame, and Parkfield. Chapter 5 focuses on the San Andreas-Calaveras Fault junction along the San Benito segment. Chapter 6 discusses the South San Francisco Bay area, mainly in Santa Clara County before addressing the San Francisco Bay in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 focuses on the Point Reyes Peninsula, providing some details on the stratigraphy and structure on the peninsula. Chapter 9 closes out with a seismic review of the Mendocino Triple Junction and its interactions with the Pacific, Gorda, and North American plates.

Download or read book Nearshore Marine Paleoclimatic Regions Increasing Zoogeographic Provinciality Molluscan Extinctions and Paleoshorelines California written by Clarence A. Hall and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2002 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 3000 middle and late Cenozoic nearshore marine molluscan taxa from western California are assigned to six time periods, spanning ~25 m.y. In this interdisciplinary study, western California is palinspastically restored for each of the time periods by backsliding and back-rotating large fault blocks or crustal units. Marine fossil assemblages are assigned to nearshore paleoclimatic regions or water masses within palinspastically restored California. In addition, this volume reveals positive feedback mechanisms between paleolatitudinal changes in sea-surface paleotemperature gradients and changes in the diversity of marine mollusks along the California coast through time; defines "equable" based effective temperatures; and analyzes extinction rates among macroinvertebrate marine taxa from coastal California and the possible causes of these extinctions. The late Paleogene to Neogene faunas reflect an increase in faunal diversity related to strengthened temperature gradients, greater extremes in sea-surface temperatures, reduction in temperateness, and the development of an embayed California coastline.

Download or read book Late Quaternary Slip Histories and Geochronology Within the Southern San Andreas Fault System written by Peter Owen Gold and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geologic slip histories measure the frequency, rate and magnitude of past displacement along active faults. Projected into the near future, they inform potential seismic hazard over human time scales. In this dissertation I describe the results of four projects focused on developing slip histories for active faults within the complex southern San Andreas Fault plate boundary system in southern California and northern Baja California, Mexico. Slip is accommodated through this densely populated region by multiple concurrently active faults. For the Banning Fault, a primary subsidiary strand of the southern San Andreas Fault, I report the first, and only, constraint on recent geologic slip. The ~4-5 mm/a mid-Holocene slip rate shows that the Banning Fault is less dominant than previously thought, significantly clarifying how slip is partitioned between three primary structures along the section of the San Andreas Fault that is most likely to host the next major earthquake. In northern Baja California, I report the first quantitatively constrained slip history for the Agua Blanca Fault, one of two primary structures transferring dextral plate motion from the Gulf of California rift to faults that parallel the Pacific coast. I report rates from three sites along the Agua Blanca Fault that indicate time-invariant slip of 2.8 +0.8/-0.6 mm/a since ~65.1 ka, 3.0 +1.4/-0.8 mm/a since ~21.8 ka, 3.4 +0.8/-0.6 mm/a since ~11.7 ka, and 3.0 +3.0/-1.5 mm/a since ~1.6 ka. I also report the timing of 7 Holocene earthquakes that suggest maximum earthquake recurrence of ~1000 years, and I report geologic evidence of ~2.5 m of slip in the past two earthquakes, which suggests that the Agua Blanca Fault is capable of accommodating >M7 surface rupturing earthquakes. This new, comprehensive slip history significantly clarifies both on- and off-shore slip partitioning within this part of the Pacific-North American plate boundary. Finally, slip rate and earthquake timing measurements critically depend on geochronologic dating of offset geologic landforms that record past displacement. To evaluate the variability between dates measured using different methods, I report a critical comparison of independent geochronometers that informs best dating practices and demonstrates that discordance often quantifies geomorphic process.
