9416121 Yeats This project will map the three-dimensional geology of the northern San Fernando Valley using surface data and subsurface data from oil and water wells. Preliminary work in the Ventura basin to the east of the San Fernando Valley has shown that the Santa Susana fault steepens down only where north-dipping reverse faults overlie south-dipping blind thrusts. Other preliminary work indicates that there is a north-vergent anticline with its crest at Oat Mountain near the maximum uplift recorded by the January 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake; the north flank of the anticline is thought to be related to the blind thrust. Mapping surface and subsurface data in the northern San Fernando Valley will provide a detailed evaluation of the presence and seismic potential of other blind thrusts in the region.

小行星9416121 该项目将利用从石油和水井威尔斯获得的地面数据和地下数据绘制北方圣费尔南多谷的三维地质图。 在圣费尔南多谷以东文图拉盆地的初步工作表明，圣苏珊娜断层只有在北倾逆断层覆盖南倾盲冲断层的地方才变陡。 其他的初步研究表明，在1994年1月17日北岭地震所记录的最大隆起附近的燕麦山有一个向北的背斜;背斜的北侧被认为与盲冲有关。 绘制北方圣费尔南多谷的地表和地下数据将对该地区其他盲冲断层的存在和地震潜力进行详细评估。
