In this lecture, I outline the history of the Basin-and-Range region of Nevada, Utah, and eastern California. In class, I will also discuss the San Andreas ...

Keypoints: Basin & Range province. Created by tension as the land is being pulled apart during uplift; Parallel normal faults are a signature for basin-range ...

Basin and range topography is characterized by alternating parallel mountain ranges and valleys. It is a result of crustal extension due to mantle upwelling. Types of faulting · Examples · Basin and Range Province

The western border of the Basin and Range is the San Andreas Fault, which divides Baja California and Los Angeles from the rest of the continent. That's where ...

14 авг. 2024 г. · These faults would later be interpreted as low-angle normal faults, and crustal extension became widely, though not universally, accepted in the ...

This event caused two important tectonic features to form: the San Andreas Fault System and the Basin and Range Geologic Province.

22 окт. 2024 г. · After ~13 Ma, extension mainly occurred along high-angle normal faults in the northern and southern Basin and Range (Parsons, 2006) . In the ...

Some of the surface ruptures associated with these events may have resulted from sympathetic or secondary surface faulting. Approximately one-half of the ...

The Basin and Range Province contains a mixture of fault dynamics. The most classic fault geometry contains groups of en echelon listric normal faults ...
