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,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Field Guide to the San Andreas Fault (published by Thule Scientific and distributed by Sunbelt Publications) allows one to get up close and personal to the San Andreas Fault. See and touch the world's most famous fault on one of twelve easy day trips between Cape Mendocino and the Mexican Border. The book includes over 200 full-color photographs and illustrations, mile-by-mile road logs, GPS coordinates for hundreds of fault features, accurate fault coordinates to within 100 feet, complete geologic explanations, and a glossary. Many of the annotated routes have side trips to seldom visited locales. The day trips are designed to be relaxing, leading to uncrowded areas with spectacular scenery, perfect for family getaways. No off-road vehicle is needed.

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.

Download or read book Geochemical Detection of Shallow Mantle Fluid Along the San Andreas Fault written by Victoria Balkwill Tweedie and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The San Andreas Fault (SAF) is an earthquake hazard to millions of people living proximal to the fault system in California. Fluids drive movement and cause stress redistribution along the SAF but their origin and subsurface migration are not well understood. Helium isotopic evidence suggests some mantle fluid contribution to the fault near Parkfield and in southern California south of the Big Bend but previous studies have been unsuccessful in detecting these signatures in the shallow fault system.Isotopic measurements ([delta]13C) of soil CO2 gas were collected along transects perpendicular to the fault in San Benito County, Parkfield, and the Carrizo Plain, and analyzed using a portable cavity ring down-spectrometer (CRDS). The high precision measurements were analyzed with Keeling plots, revealing representative [delta]13C signatures for each transect ([delta]13CY). Literature values were used to establish end-member [delta]13C signatures for biogenic ecosystem CO2 ([delta]13CR) and mantle CO2 ([delta]13CM). The proportion of [delta]13CR and [delta]13CM required to yield each transect's [delta]13CY signature was then computed and used to determine the flux of mantle CO2 (Mf) to the system. These results were compared with 222Rn measurements gathered from four of the seven transects. Biogenic ecosystem respiration was unable to account for the signatures observed in seven transects, revealing that mantle fluids are present and detectable in the shallow fault system. Mantle proportions and fluxes present in the transects reveal enrichment from north (0 per mil) to south (38.16 per mil). Findings are supported by enhanced 222Rn concentrations in the south revealing enhanced permeability in the Carrizo Plain. These findings do not reflect geochemical differences between creeping and locked segments of the fault; they may reflect how the interaction of the Big Bend and the Garlock-Big Pine fault system near the Carrizo Plain influences fluid migration and stress accumulation." --

Download or read book Magnitude 8 written by Philip L. Fradkin and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnitude 8 is the archetypal natural disaster defined. To understand the cataclysmic earthquake that will tear California apart one day, Philip L. Fradkin has written a dramatic history of earthquakes and an eloquent guide to the San Andreas Fault, the world's best-known tectonic landscape. The author includes vivid stories of earthquakes elsewhere: in New England, the central Mississippi River Valley, New York City, Europe, and the Far East. Always, he combines human and natural drama to place the reader at the epicenter of the most instantaneous and unpredictable of all the Earth's phenomena. Following the San Andreas Fault from Cape Mecino to Mexico--canoeing the fault line in northern California and walking underground through the Hollywood fault--noted environmental historian Philip L. Fradkin reclaims the human dimensions of earthquakes from the science-dominated accounts.
