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.

9416121耶茨该项目将利用油井和水井的地面数据和地下数据绘制圣费尔南多河谷北部的三维地质图。圣费尔南多山谷以东的文图拉盆地的初步工作表明，圣苏萨纳断层只有在北倾反断层覆盖南倾盲冲断层的地方才变陡。另一项初步工作表明，在1994年1月17日北岭地震记录的最大隆起附近，有一个燕麦山顶向北的背斜，背斜的北侧被认为与盲目逆冲有关。绘制圣费尔南多河谷北部地表和地下数据图将提供该地区其他盲冲的存在和地震潜力的详细评估。
