Help/FAQ My CA This Site Teacher Feature: California Has Its Faults From January/February 1992 issue of California Geology magazine A fault is a fracture along which there is movement. Some faults are actually composed of several fractures called fault branches. Collectively the branches are a fault zone (see map). California's diverse landscape and complex geology can be attributed to faulting. Many of the State's valleys, mountain ranges, and desert areas show the effects of faulting. Faults create underground traps in which valuable reservoirs of petroleum form, and spaces in which underground waters deposit valuable metals in the form of veins and masses of ore. Faults are distinguished by abrupt changes in rock structure or composition. Sometimes a fault can be recognized by the displacement of a particular feature such as a bed or a vein.

Label the physiographic provinces on the shaded relief map using this index map as a guide (http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/photogallery/physiomap.htm) . Carefully and precisely outline on your shaded relief map each of the following provinces, and write their names in the margin of the map Blue Ridge Coastal Plain (upper and lower combined) Piedmont Valley and Ridge Appalachian Plateau (Lookout Mountain area in the NW corner of GA). Look for evidence of faults on the shaded relief map , and carefully plot them on the shaded relief map using the map of major faults in Georgia as your guide . Look carefully at the satellite image to see the lineaments or LINEAR FEATURES in the topography that indicate the presence of faults. Match up these topographic lineaments with the named faults.

A Geological View of Loch Ness and Area LOCH NESS Loch Ness is the largest of three lochs located in the Great Glen which divides the North of Scotland along a line from Fort William to Inverness. The loch is large by British standards, being 23 miles long and a mile in width, and averaging 600ft in depth. Its catchment is hilly and wet, and is drained by 6 major rivers which flow into the loch. It contains over 2 cubic miles of fresh water, and the River Ness outlet, although only 5 miles long, is one of the greatest in Britain for average flow. Geology The trench-like feature which contains Loch Ness is ruler-straight and runs SW - NE for over 60 miles across the Highlands. It follows the line of the Great Glen Fault. This fault splits the Highlands from Fort William to Inverness and then goes on Northeast to form the coastline of Ross-shire and Sutherland. Beyond this, it may extend from Caithness to Shetland. Its root has been noted on seismic surveys in connection with the oil exploration of the Moray Firth. The fault is not a simple fault and is complex for 3 reasons:- a) It is a transcurrent (tear) fault.

Beneath the Surface [Geologic Structures] The vertical component has been stretched or vertically exaggerated in the above diagram. These structures are described by the following categories: Arches and Basins Faults Did you know record earthquakes have rocked Kentucky? Shoe-box geology of Kentucky Back to Geology of Kentucky Back to Earth Science Education Network Arches and Basins The block diagram shown above, represents a slice through Kentucky, as if a giant knife had cut the State to a depth of 3,000 feet. Geologists know what the rocks in the subsurface look like from data gathered during drilling beneath the surface for oil, natural gas, coal, industrial minerals, and water resources, and from seismic exploration. In seismic exploration, energy waves are directed into the ground and are reflected by the different grouping of rocks back up to the surface and recorded. Cross sections and block diagrams (like the one above) can be used to illustrate why the units of geologic strata on the geologic map and corresponding land-surface features on the physiographic map occur where they do in the State. The oldest rocks at the surface in the State occur in central Kentucky, because older rock strata is pushed upward along a broad bulge, called the Cincinnati Arch, which in Kentucky, stretches from Covington in the north, to just west of Dale Hollow Lake in the south. Below the sedimentary rocks are igneous and metamorphic rocks. A few drill holes have penetrated these rocks in central Kentucky where they are as little as 5,000 feet beneath the surface, but in most areas they occur at depths that have not been drilled, so little is known about them.

Home Columbia River Basalt Missoula Floods Previous Paths of the Columbia River ... Common Geologic Terms Geologic Faults A fault is a surface or zone of rock fracture, where there has been displacement of land from a few centimeters to a few kilometers in scale. Faults are classified by direction of movement. Distinguishing Characteristics Hanging Wall and Footwall: In order to classify the types of fault, geologists have adopted the terms hanging wall block and footwall block from early miners who found mineral deposits along fault zones. Imagine this: You are climbing to the surface of the Earth in the fault plane. Your feet are on the footwall block with the hanging wall block over your head. Dip-slip fault: All movement is parallel to the dip of the fault plane. One block moves up or down in the opposite direction of the block on the other side of the fault. Depending on the relative movement of the hanging wall and footwall blocks, two types of dip-slip faults are recognized: normal and reverse. Normal faults are characterized by the hanging wall moving downward relative to the footwall. An example of a normal fault in the Gorge is the Hood River fault. If the hanging wall moves

OVERVIEW OF SONOMA COUNTY GEOLOGY Geologically, Sonoma County is bisected by the San Andreas Fault. To the west on the tip of Bodega Head are ancient continental rocks formed far to the south and moved north at least 335 miles by the fault . To the east of the fault lies the Franciscan Complex; oceanic rocks mixed by faulting as ocean floor slid east under the edge of the continent. Both areas are covered by a thin mantle of more recent rocks formed in shallow seas, beaches, volcanos and rivers. Recent sharp uplift and ongoing river erosion has sculptured the scenery. We can see a side view of these rocks in the figure above. Different symbols and patterns show the relationships among rock units and faults. This diagram is reference point for virtual field trips accessed by links below. These pages are a distillation of information from my various classes and field trips on Sonoma County Geology.

Search Geology The Three Types of Faults The basic fault types along with their parts A fault is a large crack in the Earth's crust where one part of the crust has moved against another part. This movement means that faults prove the Earth is an active place. They are signs of powerful forces deep underground. The parts of a fault are (1) the fault plane, (2) the fault trace, (3) the hanging wall and (4) the footwall. The fault plane is where the action is. It is a flat surface that may be vertical or sloping. The line it makes on the Earth's surface is the fault trace . Where the fault plane is sloping, the upper side is the hanging wall and the lower side is the footwall . When the fault plane is vertical, there is no hanging wall or footwall.
