Electrical resistivity at lower-crustal depths (35 km) beneath the contiguous U.S. The architecture of the nation is revealed at this depth with warm colors marking active extension beneath the western U.S. The cratonic building blocks are resistive (cool colors) and were joined throughout geologic time along linear conductive sutures beneath the central and eastern U.S

The starting view is from January, 1970, a field photo of Punta Ventana (“Window Point”) at Guayanilla, Puerto Rico (Monroe, 1980). The image fades to the March 5, 2020 color photo of the same location (ten Brink, 2020). The natural arch had collapsed from earthquake shaking on January 6, 2020 during the 2020 Southwest Puerto Rico Earthquake Sequence.
