Geology and mineral deposits of Churchill County, Nevada Geology and mineral deposits of Churchill County, Nevada

Churchill County, in west-central Nevada, is an area of varied topography and geology that has had a rather small total mineral production. The western part of the county is dominated by the broad low valley of the Carson Sink, which is underlain by deposits of Lake Lahontan. The bordering mountain ranges to the west and south are of low relief and underlain largely by Tertiary volcanic...

Effects of local geology on ground motion in the San Francisco Bay region, California: A continued study Effects of local geology on ground motion in the San Francisco Bay region, California: A continued study

Measurements of ground motion generated by nuclear explosions in Nevada have been completed for 99 locations in the San Francisco Bay region, California. The seismograms, Fourier amplitude spectra, spectral amplification curves for the signal, and the Fourier amplitude spectra of the seismic noise are presented for 60 locations. Analog amplifications, based on the maximum signal...
