Download or read book The Rocks of Clear Lake California written by Dana Eker and published by . This book was released on 2018-12 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brief description of the volcanic rocks that make touring Lake County California unique. Once Lake County was unwanted property and now has become an outdoor classroom for schools and universities. Take a tour around Clear Lake in Northern California from the comfort of your vehicle or armchair to follow the landscape as it migrated from the ocean floor, collided with the San Andreas Fault and the Mendocino Triple Junction. Learn about the formation of Mt. Konocti, land formations, fault lines, ancient lakebeds, lake sediments. and more explained with maps, charts, and photos. Lake County emerged out of the ocean as young, unstable graywacke clays during 80-160 million years ago. The force of subduction, the Pacific Ocean Plate under the North American Plate, created thrust faulting scraping the deep-sea sediments onto the shore, causing the continent to overlap, and lift to create terraces. This marine collection became the groundwork of the Lake County Franciscan Mélange or Complex making up 80% of Lake and Mendocino Counties, as seen in the entire California coastal mountains and ranges.This mélange is approximately 70 miles from the coast to the mountains west of the Sacramento Valley. Three north-south trending belts have been designated; Coastal, Central (from the Ukiah Valley to Clear Lake, west side) and Eastern (north/east side of Clear Lake to Wilbur Springs), which gives you an idea of what was, what is and what will be as subduction on the coast ceases.

Book excerpt: The compilation of geologic exploration data from a complex Franciscan terrain near Clearlake, California, was systematized by dividing the geology into three constituent geometric systems, which are a fault system, a lithotope, and a structural vector field. It is inferred the high heat flow is due to a deepseated magma that fed a line of cinder cones and andesite flows. The country rock of the proposed Hot Dry Rock facility will be autochthonous Franciscan metagreywackes on the south limb of the High Valley antiform. The metagreywacke has a foliate texture resulting in a strong mechanical axial anisotropy that caused exceptional deviation of the Audrey A-1 well.

Download or read book Assembling California written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee made geological field surveys in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis. The result of these trips is Assembling California, a cross-section in human and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, and the San Andreas family of faults. The two disparate time scales occasionally intersect—in the gold disruptions of the nineteenth century no less than in the earthquakes of the twentieth—and always with relevance to a newly understood geologic history in which half a dozen large and separate pieces of country are seen to have drifted in from far and near to coalesce as California. McPhee and Moores also journeyed to remote mountains of Arizona and to Cyprus and northern Greece, where rock of the deep-ocean floor has been transported into continental settings, as it has in California. Global in scope and a delight to read, Assembling California is a sweeping narrative of maps in motion, of evolving and dissolving lands.
