When the teacher told the class it was free drawing time, he was the kid sketching volcanoes. Robert Gordon Sproul as Babcock maps in detail an offshore earthquake fault system. He uses an innovative seismometer developed by his team at Scripps. On this October day, Babcock, fellow geophysicists Graham Kent and Alistair Harding, and graduate students Renee Bulow and Jeff Dingler are retrieving eight of the instruments from the ocean floor. Scientists have tended to stop at such boundaries, but the unknown fault might harbor even more destructive power than realized. Just as the IGPP team, which includes institute Director John Orcutt, was getting funding to build the seismographs, other scientists suggested that the Oceanside Fault could produce quakes with magnitudes exceeding 7.0 on the Richter scale, the same size as temblors that damaged San Francisco in 1989 and Northridge, California, in 1994.

Click here to view a photo of 'a'a Accessory: A mineral whose presence in a rock is not essential to the proper classification of the rock. Accidental: Pyroclastic rocks that are formed from fragments of non-volcanic rocks or from volcanic rocks not related to the erupting volcano. Accretionary Lava Ball: A rounded mass, ranging in diameter from a few centimeters to several meters, [carried] on the surface of a lava flow (e.g., 'a'a) or on cinder-cone slopes [and formed] by the molding of viscous lava around a core of already solidified lava. Acid: A descriptive term applied to igneous rocks with more than 60% silica (SiO2). Active Volcano: A volcano that is erupting. Also, a volcano that is not presently erupting, but that has erupted within historical time and is considered likely to do so in the future. Agglutinate: A pyroclastic deposit consisting of an accumulation of originally plastic ejecta and formed by the coherence of the fragments upon solidification. Alkalic: Rocks which contain above average amounts of sodium and/or potassium for the group of rocks for which it belongs. For example, the basalts of the capping stage of Hawaiian volcanoes are alkalic. They contain more sodium and/or potassium than the shield-building basalts that make the bulk of the volcano.
Bodega Head Geology
The geology of Bodega Head The Salinian Terrane west of the San Andreas Fault (with clickable slide show). by Terry Wright, copyright, 1996.
http://www.sonoma.edu/geology/wright/Bhead.html

Extractions: Bodega Bay is a natural harbor resulting from movement along the San Andreas Fault. The eastern shore is straight and parallel to the edge of a wide zone of faulting that extends across the bay to the hills on Bodega Head. During the 1906 earthquake, 15' of movement displaced the harbor to the north relative to the mainland. Downward movement of the fault zone and erosion of rocks shattered by faulting gave us the depression of the bay. A sand spit closes the bay to the south at Doran Beach and a wide reach of sand dunes forms a northern barrier along Salmon Creek Beach. The rock contrast across the fault is profound. We see oceanic rocks of the Franciscan Complex Complex to the east and continental granites exposed on Bodega Head, a fragment of southern California or perhaps Baja California dragged north along the fault. If we try to match rocks from Bodega Head to rocks east of the fault, we have to go at least to the Tehachapi Mountains, 500 Km to the south to find similar granites. Some people feel the match is best in Baja California, several thousand Km to the south. Besides the many attractions of good food and tourism, natural attractions abound. The Bodega Marine Lab, run by the University of California has tours friday afternoons and many ongoing research programs on marine biology. The beaches and landscape surrounding the bay are a natural lab for geology and biology.

Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z F Related Category: Geology And Oceanography fault, in geology, fracture in the earth's crust in which the rock on one side of the fracture has measurable movement in relation to the rock on the other side. Faults on other planets and satellites of the solar system also have been recognized. Evidence of faults are found either at the surface (fault surface) or underground (fault plane). Faults are most evident in outcrops of sedimentary formations where they conspicuously offset previously continuous strata. Movement along a fault plane may be vertical, horizontal, or oblique in direction, or it may consist in the rotation of one or both of the fault blocks, with most movements associated with mountain building and plate tectonics . The two classes of faults include the dip-slip (up and down movement), which is further divided into normal and thrust (reverse) faults; and strike-slip (movement parallel to the fault plane). The San Andreas fault earthquake . The largest earthquakes occur along thrust faults. Some faults creep from a half inch to as much as 4 in. (1 to 10 cm) per year. Fault movements are measured using laser and other devices. Faults create interpretation problems for geologists by altering the relations of strata (see stratification ), such as making the same rock layer offset in two vertical cross sections of a formation or making layers disappear altogether. Faults are often seen on the surface as topographical features, including offset streams, linear lakes, and fault scarps.
Denali Fault Earthquake
Denali Fault Earthquake M7.9 November 3, 2002. Shown in yellow are other faults that show evidence of activity during Quaternary time (past two million years).
http://wwwdggs.dnr.state.ak.us/earthquake.html

Extractions: November 3, 2002 The magnitude 7.9 Denali fault earthquake of November 3, 2002, resulted from predominantly right-lateral offset along portions of the Denali and Totschunda fault systems in Alaska. Total length of the surface rupture was about 320 kilometers (200 miles). The western 49 km of the rupture shows mainly low-angle thrust offset as much as 1.5 m, with the northwest side up. Shown here are the epicenters of the November 3 event (red) and the magnitude 6.7 foreshock of October 23, 2002 (blue), as well as two previously recorded large shallow earthquakes (yellow) in the vicinity of the fault. Because there were few seismometers in the region at the time, the locations of the earlier events are poorly constrained. Shown in yellow are other faults that show evidence of activity during Quaternary time (past two million years). Numbers show the locations of some of the following photographs.

http://seis.natsci.csulb.edu/VIRTUAL_FIELD/Palos_Verdes/pvsmug.htm

Extractions: A minor fault runs through the rocks at Portuguese Point. This fracture in the bedrock is where local sections of Earth's crust have moved past one other, grinding rocks at the contact into a fine powder called fault gouge. Fault gouge is easily removed by erosion. At Portuguese Point, waves eroded some of the fault gouge, creating a tunnel through the base of the point.

http://www.friendsofsaguaro.org/geology.html

Extractions: Visitors to Saguaro National Park are often impressed by the rugged mountain landscapes and the saguaro forests of the Sonoran Desert. Major landforms include dry washes and large arroyos, which fill quickly after rainstorms; alluvial fans at the mouths of canyons, which combine to form long, sweeping slopes known as bajadas (ba-HAH-da); and pediments, which form where eroded bedrock extends out from the mountains. The present day scene has been in the making for millions of years. Although imperceptible to our eye, the desert is constantly changing. The ongoing story is told by the rocks. The geology of the Tucson area is complex and the interpretation of the physical evidence is under debate. The Rincon and Tucson Mountains offer very different geologic histories. Visitors ask questions, such as what type of rock is present or how the mountains came to be. Geologists ask the same questions with more specific interest in how the different rocks came together into complex yet systematically arranged mountain ranges. The Building Blocks Most of the mountains of the southwest have been uplifted on near-vertical faults about 15 million years ago (MYA). However, the Rincon Mountains, along with the Catalinas and Tortolitas, are part of a 3-humped core complex formed earlier. The highest peak in the Rincons is Mica Mountain. It is 8,666 feet in elevation and supports vegetation of the trans-Canadian

http://www.otago.ac.nz/geology/af/alpinefault.htm

Extractions: 20-Arawata Tectonic setting of New Zealand: astride a plate boundary which includes the Alpine Fault New Zealand lies at the edge of both the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. To the northeast of New Zealand, and underneath North Island, the Pacific Plate is moving towards, and being subducted below the Australian Plate. To the south of New Zealand, and underneath Fiordland, the two plates are also moving toward each other but here the Australian Plate is being subducted under the Pacific Plate. The Australian and Pacific Plates generally don't move smoothly past each other. They move in a series in a small rapid motions each of which is accompanied by one or more earthquakes (what is an earthquake?) . Deep earthquakes under North Island form a well defined band (seismic zone) running northeast from Marlborough through White Island. Shallow earthquakes tend to occur to the southeast of this seismic zone, while the deeper ones occur towards the northwest. The earthquakes form this pattern occur where the Pacific Plate is being subducted under the Australian Plate. This pattern of deeper earthquakes towards the northwest of North Island reflects the northwest dip (or slope) of the boundary between the two plates (the Benioff zone). Conversely, in the southwest of South Island where the Australian Plate is being subducted below the Pacific Plate, the deeper earthquakes occur on the southeast edge of the seismic zone where the Benioff zone dips steeply to the southeast.
