  • 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.

  • Western States Seismic Policy Council Policy Recommendation 18-3
    WESTERN STATES SEISMIC POLICY COUNCIL POLICY RECOMMENDATION 18-3 Definitions of Recency of Surface Faulting for the Basin and Range Province Policy Recommendation 18-3 WSSPC recommends that each state in the Basin and Range physiographic province (BRP), through consultation with state and federal geological surveys and other earthquake-hazard experts, define scientifically and societally relevant categories for recency of surface faulting (generally earthquake magnitude ≥M 6.5). WSSPC further recommends that in the absence of information to the contrary, all Quaternary faults be considered to have the recency of activity documented in the USGS Quaternary fault and fold database until more adequate data can be developed. Executive Summary Fault recency definitions are limited to the Quaternary because this period of geologic time is considered by the scientific community to be most relevant to paleoseismic studies of earthquake faults (Machette and others, 2004). The recency class of a fault is the youngest class based on the demonstrated age of most recent surface faulting. Latest Pleistocene-Holocene faults are included within the definition of late Quaternary faults, and both latest Pleistocene-Holocene and late Quaternary faults are included in Quaternary faults. Establishment/definition of surface-faulting recency categories are based on the ways that faults are portrayed on geologic maps and on the availability of geologic data in the BRP. Policy makers (owners, regulators, governmental agencies) should consult with state and federal geological surveys and other earthquake-hazard experts in using these recency categories and additional geologic data in developing definitions of hazardous faults to be considered in planning for development or infrastructure projects.

  • Another Clue for Fast Motion of the Hawaiian Hotspot 27 February 2018
    Another clue for fast motion of the Hawaiian hotspot 27 February 2018 Northwest Pacific. But soon there was doubt over whether hotspots are truly stationary. The biggest contradiction was a striking bend of about 60 degrees in this volcanic chain, which originated 47 million years ago. "If you try to explain this bend with just a sudden change in the movement of the Pacific Plate, you would expect a significantly different direction of motion at that time relative to adjacent tectonic plates," says Bernhard Steinberger of the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences. "But we have not found any evidence for that." Recent studies have suggested that apparently two processes were effective: On the one hand, the Pacific Plate has changed its direction of motion. On the other hand, the Hawaiian hotspot moved relatively quickly southward in the period from 60 to about 50 million years ago - and then stopped. If this hotspot motion is considered, only a smaller change of Pacific plate motions is needed to explain the volcano chain. Graph shows the dates of volcanoes of the three volcanic chains in the Pacific and their relative movement over time (left). The location of the three This hypothesis is now supported by work in which volcanic chains shown in the map (right). The stars mark Steinberger is also involved.

  • Hawaii Hotspot (Crustal Plate Movement)
    Earth Science Name: Dynamic Crust Laboratory # 13 Hawaii Hotspot (Crustal Plate Movement) Introduction: Plate tectonics has been an accepted theory since the 1960’s. According to this theory, the crust of the Earth is composed of plates that move over the asthenosphere. There are two basic types of plates: heavy, thin and dense oceanic plates, which are primarily composed of basalt; and thick, lighter continental plates, which are comprised of silicate rocks (granite). Movement of the Pacific plate over the Hawaiian Hot Spot: The idea behind plate tectonics is that the crustal plates are moving with respect to one another over geologic time. The rates of movement of crustal plates can be determined by using data from the plate margins along the mid-ocean ridges, or at regions known as “HOTSPOTS” where the distance and age can be measured. The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic islands that are produced as superheated molten material rises upward from deep within the mantle. As the molten material breaks through weak places in the crustal plate a new “island” will form. Hawaii Crustal Plate Lab.doc 10/6/2013 1 Procedures: 1. Using Map 1 on this page and the absolute dates of lava in bold black numbers that represent millions of years before the present. Calculate the age difference between the islands and enter the data in the table on page 3. When there is more than one age on an island use an average! 2. Make distance measurements between the “dots” of each circle using the scale on the diagram. 3. Convert the distance from kilometers to “land” or “real” centimeters (NOT cm on the map!) by multiplying the distance in KM by 100,000 (which is the number of cm in 1 km).

  • Late Quaternary Faulting in the Kaikoura Region, Southeastern Marlborough, New Zealand
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Russell J. Van Dissen for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on February 15, 1989. Title: Late Quaternary Faulting in the Kaikoura Region, Southeastern Marlborough, New Zealand Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Dr. Robert 8.0eats Active faults in the Kaikoura region include the Hope, Kekerengu, and Fidget Faults, and the newly discovered Jordan Thrust, Fyffe, and Kowhai Faults. Ages of faulted alluvial terraces along the Hope Fault and the Jordan Thrust were estimated using radiocarbon-calibrated weathering-rind measurements on graywacke clasts. Within the study area, the Hope Fault is divided, from west to east, into the Kahutara, Mt. Fyffe, and Seaward segments. The Kahutara segment has a relatively constant Holocene right-lateral slip rate of 20-32 mm/yr, and an earthquake recurrence interval of 86 to 600 yrs: based on single-event displacements of 3 to 12 m. The western portion of the Mt. Fyffe segment has a minimum Holocene lateral slip rate of 16 + 5 mm/yr .(southeast side up); the eastern portion has horizontal and vertical slip rates of 4.8+ 2.7 mm/yr and 1.7 + 0.2 mm/yr, respectively (northwest side up). There is no dated evidence for late Quaternary movementon the Seaward segment, and its topographic expression is much more subdued than that of the two western segments. The Jordan Thrust extends northeast from the Hope Fault, west of the Seaward segment. The thrust has horizontal and vertical slip rates of 2.2 + 1.3 mm/yr and 2.1 + 0.5 mm/yr, respectively (northwest side up), and a maximum recurrence interval of 1200 yrs: based on 3 events within the last 3.5 ka.

  • Surface Rupture Database for Seismic Hazard Assessment
    RAPPORT Surface rupture database for Seismic Hazard Assessment 2015 Report of the Kick-Off Meeting of the “SURE Database” Working Group RT/PRP-DGE/2016-00022 Pôle radioprotection, environnement, déchets et crise Service de caractérisation des sites et des aléas naturels ABSTRACT The goal of the fault displacement hazard assessment is to describe and quantify the permanent displacement that can occur during an earthquake at the ground surface. One of the methods to do so is probabilistic (PFDHA: Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Analysis) and is basically based on empirical approaches which allows predicting the possible displacement on the earthquake fault (« on-fault » displacement) and off this major fault on other fault segments (« off-fault » displacement). Predictive relationships (also called “regressions”) were published in the last 15 years (e.g. Youngs et al., 2003; Petersen et al., 2011; Takao et al., 2013) and they are based on data catalogs limited in case numbers and in magnitude ranges. Because there are practical applications of PFDHA in terms of engineering, there is concern in the geologists and engineers communities, for instance in the INQUA and the IAEA-ISSC groups, to improve the methodology. A first and critical step is to build up a community-sourced, worldwide, unified database of surface rupturing earthquakes to include a large number of earthquake cases in various seismotectonic contexts. This is the core task of the SURE (Surface Rupture Earthquake) Working Group which is growing with the support of INQUA and IAEA-ISSC. During the kick-off meeting held in Paris (October 2015) and sponsored by the Institut de Radioprotection et Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN), earthquake geology experts from the USA, Europe (France, Italy, UK, Germany), Japan, New Zealand, South America (Argentina) formed this group and exchanged their experience in surface rupturing events during 3 days.

  • Non-Hawaiian Lithostratigraphy of Louisville Seamounts and the Formation of High-Latitude Oceanic Islands and Guyots
    Non-Hawaiian lithostratigraphy of Louisville seamounts and the formation of high-latitude oceanic islands and guyots David M. Buchsa,⁎, Rebecca Williamsb, Shin-ichi Sanoc, V.

ABSTRACT Guyots are large seamounts with a flat summit that is generally believed to form due to constructional biogenic and/or erosional processes during the formation of volcanic islands. However, despite their large abundance in the oceans, there are still very few direct constraints on the nature and formation of guyots, in particular those formed at high latitude that lack a thick cap of shallow-marine carbonate rocks. It is largely accepted based on geophysical constraints and surficial observations/sampling that the summit platform of these guyots is shaped by wave abrasion during post-volcanic subsidence of volcanic islands. Here we provide novel constraints on this hypothesis and the summit geology of guyots with a lithostratigraphic analysis of cores from three Louisville seamounts (South Pacific) collected during Expedition 330 of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). Thirteen lithofacies of sedimentary and volcanic deposits are described, which include facies not previously recognized on the top of guyots, and offer a new insight into the formation of high-latitude oceanic islands on a fast- moving plate. Our results reveal that the lithostratigraphy of Louisville seamounts preserves a very consistent record of the formation and drowning of volcanic islands, with from bottom to top: (i) volcaniclastic sequences with abundant lava-fed delta deposits, (ii) submarine to subaerial shield lava flows, (iii) post-volcanic shallow to deeper marine sedimentary rocks lacking thick reef deposits, (iv) post-erosional rejuvenated volcanic rocks, and (v) pelagic sediments.
