Quaternary Geologic Map of Connecticut and Long Island Sound Basin Quaternary Geologic Map of Connecticut and Long Island Sound Basin
The Quaternary geologic map (sheet 1) and explanatory figures and cross sections (sheet 2) portray the geologic features formed in Connecticut during the Quaternary Period, which includes the Pleistocene (glacial) and Holocene (postglacial) Epochs. The Quaternary Period has been a time of development of many details of the landscape and of all the surficial deposits. At least twice in...
Geologic and geophysical maps of the Las Vegas 30' x 60' quadrangle, Clark and Nye counties, Nevada, and Inyo County, California Geologic and geophysical maps of the Las Vegas 30' x 60' quadrangle, Clark and Nye counties, Nevada, and Inyo County, California
Las Vegas and Pahrump are two of the fastest growing cities in the US, and the shortage of water looms as among the greatest future problems for these cities. These new maps of the Las Vegas 30 x 60-minute quadrangle provide a geologic and geophysical framework and fundamental earth science database needed to address societal issues such as ground water supply and contamination, surface...
Seismic-hazard maps for the conterminous United States Seismic-hazard maps for the conterminous United States
This publication consists of six map sheets (titles and text included in this document, below), geospatial datasets, and metadata. The geospatial datasets consist of ArcInfo export files for the seismic-hazard point and polygon data shown on the sheets. Probabilistic seismic-hazard maps were prepared for the conterminous United States portraying peak horizontal acceleration and...
Geologic map of Cydonia Mensae - southern Acidalia Planitia, Mars, quadrangles MTM 40007, 40012, 40017, 45007, 45012, and 45017 Geologic map of Cydonia Mensae - southern Acidalia Planitia, Mars, quadrangles MTM 40007, 40012, 40017, 45007, 45012, and 45017
Cydonia Mensae lie adjacent to the boundary separating the highland terrain of western Arabia Terra from the northern lowlands (the dichotomy boundary), where this boundary is gradational rather than abrupt, as is generally the case. Cydonia Mensae are characterized by abundant knobs and mesas, most of which occur in well defined clusters that commonly are long and narrow. The adjacent...
Precambrian crystalline basement map of Idaho: An interpretation of aeromagnetic anomalies Precambrian crystalline basement map of Idaho: An interpretation of aeromagnetic anomalies
Idaho lies within the northern sector of the U.S. Cordillera astride the boundary between the Proterozoic continent (Laurentia) to the east and the Permian to Jurassic accreted terranes to the west. The continental basement is mostly covered by relatively undeformed Mesoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks and intruded or covered by Phanerozoic igneous
