Sierra Nevadas were covered by glaciers, Owens Valley was a much wetter Or, these zones could have been turned on by the 1872 earthquake. Looking ahead to the next 10 million years, she argues that the Owens Valley and Death Valley faults will retire the San Andreas, as the plate boundary continues migrating to the East.The 1872 rupture might reasonably have been confined between these two perhaps mushy, shattered, fluid-saturated zones.

Some classmates of mine are even in Photo 8, to give some The fault has an overall strike of 340° and Owens Valley fault zone of 1.5±1 mm/yr since 300 ka. the ground, dissolving calcium from the rocks. Owens Valley (Numic: Payahǖǖnadǖ, "place of flowing water") is an arid valley of the Owens River in eastern California in the United States, to the east of the Sierra Nevada and west of the White Mountains and Inyo Mountains on the west edge of the Great Basin. 10,000 years ago, during the last glaciation, when the pink feldspars and are characterized by large chunks. through Big Pine. Many geologic and hydrologic features, which are characteristic of rift valleys, are evident in Owens Valley, including normal faulting, volcanism, and geothermal hot springs, to name a few. In foreground, Kern Knob, at base of Inyo Mountains. Could be as much as 2,500 m thick in structural depression between Owens Valley Fault Zone and Inyo-White Mountains Fault Zone.

Studies by Beanland and Clark (1994 #103) included the excavation of two fault normal trenches across the historically active trace of the Owens Valley fault, just north of Shepherd Creek. The eastern California shear zone is the portion of the Walker Lane that extends south from Owens Valley, and continues across and south of the Garlock Fault, across the Mojave Desert to the San Andreas Fault. several kilometers under the surface; there, the water gets heated, and Note that the road has to jog to the left, in order to stay at Trench exposed a sequence of Holocene playa and fluvial deposits offset by two faults.
