challenge in the file? - ANS-area, map, plot plan, and coordinates
According to CGS Note forty eight, what web site characterization information ought to be
blanketed within the document? - ANS-engineering geology which include local and local
fault evaluation, geologic and geotechnical maps and go sections, ability for liquefaction and
landslides, geotechnical checking out, and attention of grading and basis plans.
Active Fault - ANS-A fault that has exhibited surface displacement within Holocene time

Asthenosphere - ANS-Under the lithosphere, it's miles vulnerable top mantle where isostatic
modifications are made, magma generated and seismic waves strongly attenuated.
Attenuation - ANS-A discount in the amplification of seismic waves produced by divergence,
scattering, mirrored image, and absorption
Avalanche - ANS-A huge mass of snow, ice, soil, rock or mixtures of those materials, falling,
sliding, or flowing very rapidly due to gravity.
Body Wave Magnitude - ANS-Magnitude of an earthquake as predicted from amplitude of
body waves.

Class I landfills need to be no less than ____ toes above ____ groundwater - ANS-5ft above
the highest expected groundwater degree
Connate Water - ANS-Water trapped in a formation at the time of deposition
Creep - ANS-Aseismic fault slip
Crown - ANS-The fabric this is still in place and adjacent to the very best components of the
principle scarp of a landslide.
Differential Settlement - ANS-The choppy decreasing of various elements of an engineered
shape, regularly ensuing in harm to the shape.
Dilatancy - ANS-The increase in volume of rocks because of elastic and nonelastic changes
at some stage in deformation
DTSC? - ANS-Dept of Toxic Substances Control
One of 6 companies underneath Cal EPA
Regulates risky waste facilities
Oversees easy-up of haz wastes sites
Each significance growth releases _______ instances the energy of the preceding
earthquake - ANS-31.6
, exchange in energy from a 6.Nine to 9.2 is 2813, or
alternate in importance =nine.2-6.Three = 2.Three
31.6^2.Three = 2,813 increase in electricity from a 6.9 to 9.2
Earthquake Fault Zones - ANS-Areas alongside lively faults, 1/four mile or less in width, to
offer for public protection in hazardous fault zones.
Earthquake waves journey faster via smooth soil or rock? - ANS-rock
Elastic Rebound Theory - ANS-A principle proposed by using Reid to explain the cause of
earthquakes which states:
The crust is locked or is slowly being displaced alongside the fault. The crustal rocks behave
as an elastic material, slowly deforming in response to the fault motion. Deformation
continues until lines exceeds the power of rocks, and the rock ruptures. During rupture, the
rock releases the elastic energy collected during pressure. The electricity is launched as
warmth and earthquake.
This is authentic of earthquakes up to three mi (5 km) intensity, past rocks might behave
plastically except water is present alongside fault strains
P waves journey at speeds directly proportional to the resistance of the stable fabric to
compression and shear and inversely proportional to the density of the material.
Epicenter - ANS-Point on Earth's floor directly above the point of interest
Factor of Safety - ANS-A measure of the stability of a slope wherein the resisting forces are
as compared to the riding forces. If the resisting pressure is same to or much less than the
using force the slope will fail.
Fall - ANS-A very rapid downward motion of rock or earth that travels maximum of the
distance thru the air, both by using loose fall, leaps and boundaries, or rolling
Fault Creep - ANS-Slow ground displacement commonly happening without accompanying
earthquakes. It may be of tectonic beginning or end result from oil or groundwater withdrawl
Fault Scarp - ANS-A steep slope shaped at once through motion alongside a fault and
representing the uncovered floor of the fault before erosion and weathering modifying it.
Fault Trace - ANS-The line fashioned by the intersection of a fault and the Earth's floor. It is
the illustration of a fault as depicted on a map, which include maps of Earthquake Fault
Zones.
Fault Zone - ANS-A zone of associated faults which usually are braided and subparallel, but
can be branching and divergent. A fault has a full-size width (with recognize to the scale at
which the fault is being considered, portrayed, or investigated), starting from a few toes to
several miles.
