Geology - North Carolina (1:250,000) Faults
NCCGIA digitized the geology features and faults from mylar stable basesidentifying boundary and name attributes of geologic features.
http://cgia.cgia.state.nc.us/cgdb/geol250ff.html

Extractions: Title: Geology - North Carolina (1:250,000) Faults Abstract: The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Land Resources, NC Geological Survey, in cooperation with the North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, developed the GIS data set version of the Geology of North Carolina. The data represents the digital equivalent of the official State Geology map (1:500,000-scale), but was digitized from (1:250,000-scale) base maps. This file contains the line attributes which identify faults in North Carolina. The geologic formation id is the only attribute present. There are two additional files which accompany this layer, formations and dikes. These should be used together with the faults layer. All three files come together. (Refer to the cross references section for more detail on the formations and dikes). This data includes three coverages: geol250, which contains geologic formations; geol250d, which contains dikes; and geol250f, which contains faults.
Geology Class Notes
University of Colorado geology 1010 Class Note 10. A thrust fault is a lowanglereverse fault. Reverse faults are the result of compressional stress.
http://ruby.colorado.edu/~smyth/G1010-10.html

Extractions: Stress is the applied force. Strain is the resultant deformation. Stress can be compressional, tensional, shear, or isostatic. All applied stresses cause rock (or any other solid) to deform (strain). Strain can be elastic or plastic. If a material undergoes continuous plastic deformation, it is said to be ductile . If it fractures, it is said to be brittle Fig 16.1. Split Mountain Anticline, Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado. This is an example of a plunging, anticlinal fold in Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks. The river is the Green just below its confluence with the Yampa. There are also some pre-Cambrian sediments exposed in the core of this classic anticline, upstream of this photo. Sedimentary rocks that deform plastically are said to form folds A syncline is a concave-upward fold.

http://earthview.sdsu.edu/dvgeology/dv_geology.html

Extractions: Death Valley is located just east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. It is part of the Basin and Range physiographic province of the western United States, just one of the desert basins that lie enclosed between mountain ranges in the southwest. The Basin and Range province includes much of Nevada, western Utah, southern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and southeastern California. Death Valley is probably most known for being the lowest land elevation in North and South America. It receives an average annual precipitation of 1.5 inches per year as it is situated in the rainshadow of the mountains to its west. The highest temperatures in the United States in the summer are often recorded in Death Valley where summer temperatures reach an average of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit (average for day and night combined). In the winter, average temperatures are about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures commonly exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit during many days of the summer. Death Valley also contains one of the world's largest salt pans, consisting of various salts including the most common table salt variety, sodium chloride. Groundwater in the valley is close to the surface but too salty for drinking. Several springs or small seeps, however, do provide a fresh water source for people and animals. The path of these springs often follows faults or fractures in the rocks.

Extractions: Careers Your Fault, My Fault, and the New Madrid Fault I N the earth, a fault is a line of fracture in the rocks where the two sides move by each other. The movement can be up, down or sideways, and it is caused by pressure and tension in the rock. When a sudden movement happens along one of these fault lines, an earthquake happens. A fault can be very small, it can be seen in a single quartz crystal, or it can be very long. The Great Rift Valley in east Africa is over 6000 miles long! California has a famous fault called the San Andreas fault, where the Pacific plate slips past the North American plate. Photos of the ground where faults occur show how rock beds have shifted over the years. Even the river channels get crinked when movement happens along a fault. Although California has more earthquakes, we've had bigger ones in the middle of the continent. Measuring earthquakes

http://www.nps.gov/gis/metadata/meve/meve_cortflt.html

Extractions: Description: Abstract: The dataset is an ARC/INFO GIS coverage of geologic faults of the Cortez 7.5 minute quadrangle at Mesa Verde National Park (MEVE), Colorado. The coverage was digitized from "Mesa Verde National Park Geology" by Mary O. Griffitts, an unpublished series of maps drafted on stable-base material specifically for this project. The information in CORTFLT is intended to be used in conjunction with other geologic feature coverages generated from the same maps: CORTGLG, CORTJLN, CORTGLN, CORTATD, and CORTDAT. Also, a related accessory table, MEVEMAP.INF, contains series and citation information on the sources used to create this coverage. The information in this coverage is also included in the full, six quadrangle coverage of the Mesa Verde area, MEVEFLT (which covers the Cortez, Point Lookout, Mancos, Wetherill Mesa, Moccasin Mesa, and Trail Canyon quads). Purpose: The dataset was created as part of the National Park Service (NPS) Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI). It is intended for use in resource management, research, and park planning.

Extractions: A Desert Park Visiting Activities Nature ... Environmental Factors North America is moving westward over the Pacific Plate at one or two inches per year. When tension builds in rocks from this collision, the strain is released along faults in the form of earthquakes, as the rocks finally break. Joshua Tree is crisscrossed with hundreds of faults, and is a great place to see raw rocks and the effects of earthquakes. The famous San Andreas Fault bounds the south side of the park, and can be observed from Keys View. Blue Cut Fault in the center of the park can be seen from the hilltop behind Lost Horse Mine. The fault forms the straight, abrupt base of the Hexie Mountains east of Queen Valley. Fault zones are important factors in localizing natural springs. Movement by faults causes impervious zones of shattered rock fragments to form an underground dam forcing ground water to rise. The Oasis of Mara at the visitor center in Twentynine Palms marks the Pinto Mountain fault. The park has four other fault-caused oases that support the native palm tree, Washingtonia filifera.

Extractions: Earthquakes on the Internet For background information, as well as for information on specific earthquakes and faults, look for books using the Library Catalog Try searching on subject headings such as: GEOLOGY, FAULTS, EARTHQUAKES, SEISMOLOGY. If you are researching earthquakes or faults in a particular area, add the name of the state to the subject heading, for example EARTHQUAKES CALIFORNIA. Use the indexes in the books to find references to the earthquakes or faults of interest. You can also try searching on names of specific earthquakes (e.g. LOMA PRIETA) or specific faults (e.g. SAN ANDREAS). However, only major well researched earthquakes and faults will have their own subject headings. The lack of a subject heading for a specific earthquake or fault does not mean that the Library has no material on that subject; try the subject headings listed above. If a subject search is unsuccessful, try using the KEYWORD option. Return to Top Much of the information available on earthquakes is published in journals or in reports of agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) or the California Division of Mines and Geology. The sources listed below will help you locate this material.

Extractions: The Johnson Hypothesis argues that many of the geoglyphs mark sources of subsurface water. The hypothesis relies extensively on the fact that faults and structures in the bedrock transmit groundwater to the alluvial valleys. In order to test this idea scientifically five questions must be addressed: 1) Do the faults exist?

Extractions: ESCI 111 - Folds and Faults - Structural Geology Lab Horizontal Rocks Use the geologic map and the cross-section of the Grand Canyon. On the geologic map, notice that the outcrop pattern is roughly parallel to the Colorado River and its many tributaries. Look closer and you will also see the light gray topographic contours on this map. How does the outcrop pattern relate to the topographic pattern? If you hiked from the canyon rim to the river, would the rocks along the way go from older to younger or younger to older? Why? (refer to the relative dating explanation on the Web page) Why is the outcrop pattern of the Bright Angel shale wider than the Muav/Temple Butte limestone, even though these units are of comparable vertical thickness? (look on both the geologic map and the cross-section) Does the width of the rock units on the map represent the actual thickness of the rock layers? Folds, Domes and Basins Using pencil or colored pencil, sketch a cross-section of an anticline and a syncline with 4 layers of rock. Now take an eraser and erase the top half of your sketch to see what these structures look like after they are eroded.
