Crustal movement investigations Crustal movement investigations
Studies of horizontal crustal movement using conventional geodetic methods have been considerably expanded in the quadrennium 1971–1974. The basic fault monitor Geodimeter network now covers most of the major faults in California as well as the zone of faulting that extends into Nevada. Isolated Geodimeter networks in seismic areas of Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington are also...

Peritidal lithologies of Cambrian carbonate islands, Carrara Formation, southern Great Basin Peritidal lithologies of Cambrian carbonate islands, Carrara Formation, southern Great Basin
The Carrara Formation is a heterogeneous sequence of quartzites, siltstones, shales, limestones, dolostones, and mixed terrigenous-carbonate rocks. It is Early and Middle Cambrian in age (Stewart, 1970; Palmer, 1971). Figure 32-1 illustrates the general distribution of Carrara lithologies along a transect approximately normal to depositional strike (Fig. 32-2). The formation contains...

A model for earthquakes near Palisades Reservoir, southeast Idaho A model for earthquakes near Palisades Reservoir, southeast Idaho
The Palisades Reservoir seems to be triggering earthquakes: epicenters are concentrated near the reservoir, and quakes are concentrated in spring, when the reservoir level is highest or is rising most rapidly, and in fall, when the level is lowest. Both spring and fall quakes appear to be triggered by minor local stresses superposed on regional tectonic stresses; faulting is postulated...
