This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of the Breckenridge Mountain Quadrangle, California Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith Bulletin 168, Geology of the Breckenridge Mountain Quadrangle, California, prepared under the direction of Olaf P. Jenkins, Chief of the Division of Mines, Department of Natural Resources. The report is accompanied by a detailed colored geologic map together with cross sections, charts, and photographs of the area which lies in the southern Sierra Nevada about twenty miles east of Bakersfield in Kern County. This map and its report represent one of the results of the Division's program of basic geologic mapping. The senior author, T. W. Dibblee, Jr., has mapped not only this Breckenridge Mountain quadrangle, but has mapped many other areas in the state, including western Santa Barbara County and the Saltdale quadrange, published by the Division as Bulletins 150 and 160 respectively. The junior author, Charles W. Chesterman, a staff member of the Division, sampled the complex rocks of the area and made a petro-graphic study of them to supplement the field investigation. The Breckenridge Mountain quadrangle contains gold mines and also tungsten deposits north of Walker Basin. In the southwestern part of the quadrangle, wells were drilled for oil and two of them have produced small amounts of heavy petroleum. The earthquakes of 1952, which caused severe damage in the area of Arvin and Tehachapi, were, caused by earth movements along the White Wolf fault. This and other major faults are actually shown on Breckenridge Mountain quadrangle. Bulletin 168 should provide basic information for mining, for the development of oil fields, in the study of other natural resources, and in structural engineering problems.

Book excerpt: "In this well-illustrated book, Hildebrand expands upon his model for the development of the North American Cordillera detailed in Special paper 457. Starting with an overview of Cordilleran geology he goes on to provide an in depth look at how the Rubian ribbon continent was assembled. He integrates the complex geology of the Cordillera into an actualistic model involving arc magmatism, arc-continent collision, slab failure magmatism, and transcurrent motion in both Rubia and the western North American margin. While much of the focus is on the assembly of the Rubian ribbon continent, Hildebrand explores its interactions with North America during the Sevier and Laramide events and concludes that North America was the lower plate in both"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Alluvial Fans written by Adrian M. Harvey and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2005 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alluvial fans are important sedimentary environments. They trap sediment delivered from mountain source areas, and exert an important control on the delivery of sediment to downstream environments, to axial drainages and to sedimentary basins. They preserve a sensitive record of environmental change within the mountain source areas. Alluvial fan geomorphology and sedimentology reflect not only drainage basin size and geology, but change in response to tectonic, climatic and base-level controls. One of the challenges facing alluvial fan research is to resolve how these gross controls are reflected in alluvial fan dynamics and to apply the results of studies of modern fan processes and Quaternary fans to the understanding of sedimentary sequences in the rock record. This volume includes papers based on up-to-date research, and focuses on three themes: alluvial fan processes, dynamics of Quaternary alluvial fans and fan sedimentary sequences. Linking the papers is an emphasis on the controls of fan geomorphology, sedimentology and dynamics. This provides a basis for integration between geomorphological and sedimentological approaches, and an understanding how fluvial systems respond to tectonic, climatic and base-level changes.

This book was released on 2015-12-06 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a summary of the known facts about the minerals that make up the rocks, soils, and ore deposits of Colorado. Compilation and abridgment of the literature from 1858, when gold was discovered, through 1957 (with a few additions for 1958 and 1959) is supplemented by information from unpublished sources. Designed to be of use to both professional and amateur mineralogists, the main part of the report describes the chief occurrences of 445 mineral species,42 of them first found in Colorado, together with many subspecies, varieties, and discredited "type" species. Directions for finding these localities are also given in the text. The bibliography contains more than 800 selected references to the most significant literature on the subject

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 20 chapters of The Geology of Washington and Beyond--an outgrowth of a geologic symposium--present the substantial advances in recent research on the geologic history of Washington State. The 32 contributors used new conceptual developments such as sequence stratigraphy, identification and matching of terranes, and neotechtonics, as well as breakthroughs in technology such as lidar mapping, paleomagnetism, and new methods of radiometric dating, to examine the fascinating geology of Washington State and beyond. Also included is geologic mapping in areas previously known only by reconnaissance. This book will influence resource management decisions, as well as disaster and land-use planning in the region. The introductory chapters make the book accessible for undergraduate courses in geology and to the general public.
