Holocene faulting in the Bellingham forearc basin: Upper-plate deformation at the northern end of the Cascadia subduction zone
[1] The northern Cascadia forearc takes up most of the strain transmitted northward via the Oregon Coast block from the northward-migrating Sierra Nevada block. The north-south contractional strain in the forearc manifests in upper-plate faults active during the Holocene, the northern-most components of which are faults within the Bellingham Basin. The Bellingham Basin is the northern of four b...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Marble Prospects in the Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona,
The following report is the result of an investigation made at-the request of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury, through the United States Geological Survey, the writer spending four days in the field during the latter part of December, 1908. Arrangements made by Mr. John G. Kerr, of Bowie, Ariz., the manager of the properties examined, served greatly to facilitate field movements and a...
متن کاملDiscordant paleomagnetic direction in Miocene rocks from the central Tarim Basin: evidence for local deformation and inclination shallowing
From exposures at the southeastern end of the Maza Tagh range in the central Tarim Basin (latitude: 38.5‡N; longitude: 80.5‡E), 55 paleomagnetic sites were collected from red mudstones and sandstones of the Miocene Wuqia Formation. Thermal demagnetization revealed a high unblocking temperature characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM). Five sites collected across a kink fold yield a positive...
متن کاملTectonic geomorphology and the record of Quaternary plate boundary deformation in the Olympic Mountains
We use Quaternary stratigraphy to reconstruct landscape evolution and measure tectonic deformation of the Olympic Mountains section of the Pacifi c Northwest Coast Range. An important motivation for understanding orogenesis here, and throughout the Coast Range, is the concern about the relationship of active deformation to seismic hazards associated with the Cascadia subduction zone. There is a...
