Maps showing maximum earthquake intensity predicted in the southern San Francisco Bay region, California, for large earthquakes on the San Andreas and Hayward Faults Maps showing maximum earthquake intensity predicted in the southern San Francisco Bay region, California, for large earthquakes on the San Andreas and Hayward Faults

This map shows maximum earthquake intensity predicted at specific sites using the empirical relations derived from the reliable 1906 intensity data (figs. 3 and 4; see text). The numbers 4-0 correspond to letters A-E, respectively, of the San Francisco intensity scale. The predicted intensity value shown for each site is the maximum of those predicted for the site assuming that a large...

Perspective diagrams showing geochemical abundance of silver, lanthanum, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, yttrium, and zinc in the Nabesna Quadrangle, Alaska Perspective diagrams showing geochemical abundance of silver, lanthanum, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, yttrium, and zinc in the Nabesna Quadrangle, Alaska

The seven perspective diagrams on this sheet show the distribution patterns of silver, lanthanum, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, yttrium, and zinc in stream sediments in the Nabesna quadrangle. The diagrams portray the distribution and abundance of the elements and their relation to some of the geologic units (Richter, 1975) in easy-to-visualize, 3-dimensional perspective.

Photointerpretive map of landslides and surficial deposits of northernmost Napa County, California Photointerpretive map of landslides and surficial deposits of northernmost Napa County, California

This map shows various types of landslide deposits, scarps, and related topographic features, in addition to other types of surficial deposits, in northernmost Napa County, California. It was prepared by viewing overlapping vertical aerial photographs with a stereoscope. This method allows the geologist to see a three-dimensional model of the terrain to be analyzed and thereby permits...
