They have provided a brief summary of the geology of Baja California. The three contributors are authors of a recent book "Roadside Geology and Biology of Baja California." (See the Books Page for information on this book). Fred Metcalf Page Contents Geologic Provinces Geologic History Baja California Information Pages Brief Summary of the Geology of Baja California by John Minch, Edwin Minch, and Jason Minch Geologic Provinces of Baja California Next Back to Page Contents B AJA CALIFORNIA can be divided into 5 provinces based on geologic landforms. They are: the tilted granitic fault blocks of the main mountain ranges, the broad flat coastal plains, the isolated coastal mountains, the fault block mountains and alluviated valleys of the Basin and Ranges, and the plateaus of the Volcanic Tablelands. The first three provinces are part of the Cretaceous collision of the North American and the Pacific Plate. The last two provinces are directly related to the opening of the Gulf of California. The tilted granitic fault blocks are represented by the Sierra Juarez and the Sierra San Pedro Martir which form the main granitic ranges of the State of Baja California and the Sierra La Laguna of the Cape region mountains. The main rock types in this province are granitic, metamorphic, and metavolcanic.

Thumbnails Map View North View West View East View ... Links These fantastic images are available as a map view or as perspective views looking North, East or West. We also have close ups of different places of interest in the area. Developed by Robert E. Crippen (JPL) and Ross Stein (USGS) these images drape Landsat TM satellite imagery over Digital Elevation Models to show the bay as it has never been seen before. The vertical exaggeration in the oblique views is three times; the view angle is 20 degrees below the horizontal. Active faults (which slipped during the past 10,000 years) are from C.W Jennings, Fault Activity Map of California (1994). The offshore portion of the San Gregorio fault is modified after M.L. Zoback et al (Journal of Geophysical Research v.104, 1999). All the images can be downloaded quickly for printing from your home computer on US Letter paper. Full size 6ft images can be downloaded or ordered from Digital Prism or Kinko's from this site, or you can take a file to any good copy service bureau that offers a poster printing service Click on an image below.

KGS Home Earth Science Education Did You Know That Pine Moutain Has Moved? Pine Mountain, in the southeastern corner of Kentucky, sits atop the Pine Mountain Thrust Fault. A thrust fault is a tear in the upper part of the Earth's crust along which one block of strata is pushed up and over another block of strata. This is a different kind of movement than the normal faults of the New Madrid Fault Zone (in the Jackson Purchase of western Kentucky), in which movement along the fault is vertical and one block drops down relative to the other, or strike-slip faults like the San Andreas Fault Zone in California, in which movement is in a lateral direction, with one block sliding past the other. Geologists can trace the amount of movement on the fault. The northern portion of Pine Mountain, north of the town of Louellan, has been thrust 4 miles (6.4 km) from its original position. The southern edge in Tennessee has been moved 11 miles (17.6 km)! The area that is now the city of Harlan has been moved 6 to 8 miles from where it started. If you live in Harlan, don't worry, movement along the fault stopped millions of years ago. References that include information about Pine Mountain. If your library does not have these references, they are available from the

Bob is also the founder of the Reactivation Research Group. more.. Dr K J W McCaffrey (Senior Lecturer) more.. Dr J Imber (Statoil Lecturer) Currently working on a NERC Ocean Margins LINK project that aims to quantify the influence of basement fault reactivation in passive margin settings. This research will compare the growth of fault systems in which there is clear basement involvement with that of ‘thin-skinned’ fault systems using high quality 2D/3D seismic data from various NE Atlantic margin basins. Other research interests include: (1) modelling relay zones on normal faults using 3D distinct element techniques; (2) constraining the thermal and rheological evolution of basement faults using finite difference models; and (3) the interaction between tectonics and sedimentation in growth faulted terranes.

Other descriptions of Geologic fault Old fault exposed by roadcut near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania . Such faults are common in the folded Appalachians In geology faults are discontinuities (cracks) in the Earth's crust that are the result of differential motion within the crust. Faults are the source of many earthquakes that are caused by slippage vertically or laterally along the fault. The largest examples are at tectonic plate boundaries, but many small faults are known to exist that are far from active plate boundaries.
