Hace 3 días · The earthquake was triggered by a slip along the San Andreas Fault. Its epicentre was in the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, near Loma Prieta peak in the Santa Cruz mountains, northeast of Santa Cruz and approximately 60 miles (100 km) south of San Francisco.
Hace 3 días · Intersections between small faults and larger faults are ubiquitous throughout the world, including the strike‐slip San Andreas system in southern California. In particular, orthogonal intersections may exist in the Brawley seismic zone (BSZ) in the Salton Sea region between small left‐lateral strike‐slip faults and the main southern San Andreas fault (SSAF).
Hace 5 días · A series of block diagrams shows how the subduction zone along the west coast of North America transformed into the San Andreas Fault from 30 million years ago to the present. The Farallon Plate ( more info ) In this animation from NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio, the Farallon Plate sinks beneath North American Plate and ...
Hace 4 días · The San Andreas Fault: Uncovering the Tectonic Rift. One of the best-known and most extensively studied faults in North America is the San Andreas Fault. Stretching approximately 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) across California, this transform boundary separates the Pacific Plate from the North American Plate.

Hace 3 días · These data are derived from laser scanning surveys of a paleoseismic investigation site along the north coast section of the San Andreas Fault near Gualala, CA. We performed three surveys with a terrestrial laser scanner at different stages of trench excavation in 2021. To generate more complete maps of the bare ground at the site, we also incorporated airborne laser scanner data from the USGS 3DE
Hace 3 días · According to the US Geological Survey, most earthquakes, approximately 90%, occur along the edges of tectonic plates, such as the infamous San Andreas Fault, which runs along the western coast of ...
