Description:
Abstract:
Cenozoic faults mapped on high-altitude photography, classified by Dohrenwend as historic, undated, Holocene-Pleistocene, late Pleistocene, undifferentiated, Holocene, and volcanic. These classes are differentiated by "flt_type" item in the data.
modified slightly from the version available from the USGS DDS-41 Great Basin Database
Purpose: For geothermal exploration
Supplemental_Information:
Cenozoic faults mapped on high-altitude photography by Dohrenwend (1996). See Dohrenwend (1996) or documentation in Raines et al. (1996) for more details. If the "yngflt41.avl" legend file is used for color-coding these faults, then late Pleistocene and younger faults will be colored according to their strike orientation relative to a N28W direction of relative motion between the Sierra Nevada block and the Great Basin (as measured by GPS stations); where red = 0 to 15 degrees from perpendicular to N28W (almost perpendicular to N28W), orange = 15 to 30 degrees from perpendicular, green = 30 to 45 degrees from perpendicular to N28W, and blue = 45-90 degrees from perpendicular (more nearly parallel to N28W than perpendicular).

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Length: length of fault in meters Flt_type: type of fault, including age where known Linazimuth: average azimuth of fault Linlength: length of fault in meters Extension: Difference between average azimuth of fault and N52E (N52E is perpendicular to a N28W direction of relative motion between the Sierra Nevada block and the Great Basin). Only late Pleistocene and younger faults have this value calculated. For older faults or faults without an age designation, a value of "100" has been entered in this field.
