Introduction San Andreas Fault: an Overview
Introduction This volume is a general geology field guide to the San Andreas Fault in the San Francisco Bay Area. The first section provides a brief overview of the San Andreas Fault in context to regional California geology, the Bay Area, and earthquake history with emphasis of the section of the fault that ruptured in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. This first section also contains information useful for discussion and making field observations associated with fault- related landforms, landslides and mass-wasting features, and the plant ecology in the study region. The second section contains field trips and recommended hikes on public lands in the Santa Cruz Mountains, along the San Mateo Coast, and at Point Reyes National Seashore. These trips provide access to the San Andreas Fault and associated faults, and to significant rock exposures and landforms in the vicinity. Note that more stops are provided in each of the sections than might be possible to visit in a day. The extra material is intended to provide optional choices to visit in a region with a wealth of natural resources, and to support discussions and provide information about additional field exploration in the Santa Cruz Mountains region. An early version of the guidebook was used in conjunction with the Pacific SEPM 2004 Fall Field Trip. Selected references provide a more technical and exhaustive overview of the fault system and geology in this field area; for instance, see USGS Professional Paper 1550-E (Wells, 2004). San Andreas Fault: An Overview The catastrophe caused by the 1906 earthquake in the San Francisco region started the study of earthquakes and California geology in earnest. -

Turbidites in a Jar
Activity— Turbidites in a Jar Sand Dikes & Marine Turbidites Paleoseismology is the study of the timing, location, and magnitude of prehistoric earthquakes preserved in the geologic record. Knowledge of the pattern of earthquakes in a region and over long periods of time helps to understand the long- term behavior of faults and seismic zones and is used to forecast the future likelihood of damaging earthquakes. Introduction Note: Glossary is in the activity description Sand dikes are sedimentary dikes consisting of sand that has been squeezed or injected upward into a fissure during Science Standards an earthquake. (NGSS; pg. 287) To figure out the earthquake hazard of an area, scientists need to know how often the largest earthquakes occur. • From Molecules to Organisms—Structures Unfortunately (from a scientific perspective), the time and Processes: MS-LS1-8 between major earthquakes is much longer than the • Motion and Stability—Forces and time period for which we have modern instrumental Interactions: MS-PS2-2 measurements or even historical accounts of earthquakes. • Earth’s Place in the Universe: MS-ESS1-4, Fortunately, scientists have found a sufficiently long record HS-ESS1-5 of past earthquakes that is preserved in the rock and soil • Earth’s Systems: HS-ESS2-1, MS-ESS2-2, beneath our feet.

January 2016 NEWS COVERAGE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 25TH TO JANURAY 31ST 2016 GOVT BURDENS GAS CONSUMERS WITH RS101BN TO FINANCE PIPELINES Dawn, January 29th, 2016 KHALEEQ KIANI ISLAMABAD: The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet on Thursday decided to charge consumers of the two gas utilities Rs101 billion to partly finance pipeline network. At a charged meeting presided over by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, the committee also approved Rs3 per unit reduction in future power tariff for industrial consumers previously announced by the prime minister in December. It also regularised import of first six cargoes of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) in April-May last year through a floating storage terminal, but deferred a final decision on LNG sales and purchase agreement between Qatargas and Pakistan State Oil (PSO) until Friday. “It was a bad day for member gas (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority, or Ogra) Amir Naseem,” said a cabinet member who attended the meeting, adding that the finance minister lost his temper at the beginning of the meeting over Ogra’s written comments against petroleum ministry’s summary on Rs101bn financing arrangement for gas companies. Ogra earlier opposed the recovery of Rs101bn from consumers through tariff, saying the pipeline projects should be financed out of Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) already being collected from consumers. The regulator believed that it could not allow under the GIDC law the “double taxation” through gas tariff. Consumers, who were already paying GIDC for pipeline infrastructure, could not be burdened again with financing for repayment of Rs101bn loan along with 17 per cent return on assets to be created by the gas companies through these loans. -
