  • Periodically Spaced Anticlines of the Columbia Plateau
    Geological Society of America Special Paper 239 1989 Periodically spaced anticlines of the Columbia Plateau Thomas R. Watters Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 20560 ABSTRACT Deformation of the continental flood-basalt in the westernmost portion of the Columbia Plateau has resulted in regularly spaced anticlinal ridges. The periodic nature of the anticlines is characterized by dividing the Yakima fold belt into three domains on the basis of spacings and orientations: (1) the northern domain, made up of the eastern segments of Umtanum Ridge, the Saddle Mountains, and the Frenchman Hills; (2) the central domain, made up of segments of Rattlesnake Ridge, the eastern segments of Horse Heaven Hills, Yakima Ridge, the western segments of Umtanum Ridge, Cleman Mountain, Bethel Ridge, and Manastash Ridge; and (3) the southern domain, made up of Gordon Ridge, the Columbia Hills, the western segment of Horse Heaven Hills, Toppenish Ridge, and Ahtanum Ridge. The northern, central, and southern domains have mean spacings of 19.6,11.6, and 27.6 km, respectively, with a total range of 4 to 36 km and a mean of 20.4 km (n = 203). The basalts are modeled as a multilayer of thin linear elastic plates with frictionless contacts, resting on a mechanically weak elastic substrate of finite thickness, that has buckled at a critical wavelength of folding. Free slip between layers is assumed, based on the presence of thin sedimentary interbeds in the Grande Ronde Basalt separating groups of flows with an average thickness of roughly 280 m.

  • Thesis, "Structure and Evolution of the Horse Heaven Hills in South
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael Curtis Hagood for the Master of Science in Geology presented February 21, 1985. Title: Structure-and Evolution of the Horse Heaven Hills in South-Central Washington. APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Marvin H. Beeson, Chairman Michael L. Cummings Gilbert T. Benson Stephen P. Reidel The Horse Heaven Hills uplift in south-central Washington con- sists of distinct northwest and northeast trends which merge in the lower Yakima Valley. The northwest trend is adjacent to and parallels the Rattlesnake-Wallula alignment (RAW; a part of the Olympic-Wallowa lineament). The northwest trend and northeast trend consist of aligned or en echelon anticlines and monoclines whose axes are gener- ally oriented in the direction of the trend. At the intersection, La 2 folds in the northeast trend plunge onto and are terminated by folds of the northwest trend. The crest of the Horse Heaven Hills uplift within both trends is composed of a series of asymmetric, north vergent, eroded, usually double-hinged anticlines or monoclines. Some of these "major" anti- clines and monoclines are paralleled to the immediate north by lower- relief anticlines or monoclines. All anticlines approach monoclines in geometry and often change to a monoclinal geometry along their length. In both trends, reverse faults commonly parallel the axes of folds within the tightly folded hinge zones. Tear faults cut across the northern limbs of the anticlines and monoclines and are coincident with marked changes in the wavelength of a fold or a change in the trend of a fold. Layer-parallel faults commonly exist along steeply- dipping stratigraphic contacts or zones of preferred weakness in intraflow structures.

  • Splay-Fault Origin for the Yakima Fold-And-Thrust Belt, Washington State 2 3 Thomas L
    1 Splay-fault origin for the Yakima fold-and-thrust belt, Washington State 2 3 Thomas L. Pratt, United States Geological Survey, School of Oceanography, Box 357940, 4 University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98115 5 6 ABSTRACT 7 The Yakima fold-and-thrust belt (YFTB) is a set of anticlines above reverse faults in the 8 Miocene Columbia River Basalt (CRB) flows of Washington State. The YFTB is bisected by the 9 ~1100-km-long Olympic-Wallowa geomorphic lineament (OWL). There is considerable debate 10 about the origin and earthquake potential of the YFTB and OWL, which lie near six major dams 11 and a large nuclear waste storage site. Here I show that the trends of the YFTB anticlines relative 12 to the OWL match remarkably well the trends of the principal stresses determined from Linear 13 Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) modeling of the end of a vertical strike-slip fault. From this 14 comparison and the termination of some YFTB anticlines at the OWL, I argue that the YFTB 15 formed as splay faults caused by an abrupt decrease in the amount of strike-slip motion along the 16 OWL. If this hypothesis is correct, the OWL and YFTB are likely interconnected, deeply-rooted 17 structures capable of large earthquakes. 18 19 20 INTRODUCTION 21 The Yakima fold and thrust belt (YFTB) of central Washington State is a set of 22 prominent anticlines in the Miocene Columbia River Basalt flows (CRB; figure 1). The YFTB 23 anticlines form three distinct sets (Riedel et al., 1989 and 1994; Watters, 1989).

    ASPECT CONSULTING Chapter 3. Water Quantity Assessment Surface water and groundwater contribute to the total amount of water within each subbasin of WRIA 31. This section provides an overview of what is currently known, for each subbasin, regarding the quantity of water: · Entering, leaving, and distributed within the hydrologic system; · Appropriated (allocated) and applied for in water rights; · Currently being used, and projected future demand, by major use category. Section 3.1 discusses the quantity of surface water flow in streams across the watershed. Section 3.2 provides an overview of streamflow data for the Columbia River adjacent to WRIA 31. Section 3.3 covers groundwater quantity, including hydrogeologic conditions and interactions between surface water and groundwater. Section 3.4 presents an overview of recorded water right appropriations and applications for new water rights in each subbasin, based on Ecology’s water rights database information. Section 3.5 presents estimates of current actual water use, and projected future water use, by subbasin. Section 3.6 presents the water balance, and preliminary discussion of water availability, by subbasin. Section 3.7 presents future water use projections. 3.1 Surface Water Quantity As discussed in Chapter 2, WRIA 31 was divided into four subbasins for the purposes of this Level 1 assessment. From west to east those subbasins are Rock Creek, Wood/Alder Creeks, Glade/Fourmile Creeks and Kennewick. Both topography and precipitation decrease from west to east. The Rock Creek subbasin has an average elevation of 2,162 feet and receives the highest average annual precipitation of approximately16 inches. The Kennewick subbasin at an average elevation of 870 feet and receives the lowest average annual precipitation of approximately 8 inches.

  • Influence of Yakima Fold Belt Structures on Columbia Basin Terroir
    INFLUENCE OF YAKIMA FOLD BELT STRUCTURES ON COLUMBIA BASIN TERROIR POGUE, Kevin, Geology, Whitman College, Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA 99362, [email protected] The boundaries of many of the American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in the Columbia basin are based largely on topography that is a consequence of Yakima Fold Belt (YFB) structures. The Rattlesnake Hills, Red Mountain, Wahluke Slope, and Horse Heaven Hills AVAs are situated on dip slopes on the south- facing limbs of YFB anticlines, the Walla Walla Valley and Yakima Valley AVAs encompass synclinal valleys, and the boundaries of the Snipes Mountain AVA are formed by topographic contours that encircle an anticlinal ridge. Topographic variables such as slope and aspect influence viticulture primarily through their affects on solar radiation and cold air drainage. For example, the gently inclined (5°-10°) south-facing dip slopes of YFB anticlines receive 3% – 5% more solar energy per unit area than the relatively flat floors of the synclinal basins. In 2008, vineyard sites on the northeast-facing slopes of Snipes Mountain, an anticlinal ridge in the Yakima Valley, accumulated 210 fewer growing degree-days (GDD) (10°C) relative to sites at the same elevation on southwest-facing slopes. Due to clear skies and low humidity, air temperatures typically decline rapidly after sunset in the Columbia basin. The cold air drains from the flanks of the YFB anticlines into adjacent synclinal basins where it pools behind narrow water gaps. For this reason, the vineyards with the greatest risk of frost and freeze damage are located on the floors of synclinal basins at relatively low elevations.
