Hey Nick, just catching up. These impeachment hearings are sucking me in just like the Watergate hearings did almost (gulp!) 50 years ago -- when I was a young university student. About today, you were on form. Your presentation read like a blockbuster thriller; you blew those young geologists away! (Spell check replaced geologists with apologists.) Great job!

At school we used to have some neat little mapping puzzle books, where pages were maps of strata in increasing levels of displacement complexity. Given a few dip and strike marks, one would have to draw paralel strike lines in, and get the outcrop pattern from where they intersected the geographical contour lines. We used to enjoy filling in these books even when we didn't have them as homework! Nick's students would develop their 3D imaginations with the aid of these books, if something like them is still around. (Actually, back then, even at college, geology was mostly something of an art lesson, than a science: if you couldn't produce perfect pencil illustrations of trilobites and graptolites, and draw convincing tetrakishexahedrons on cubic axes and miller index all the faces, you weren't going to get very far! I liked the drawing at school, but at college, it just felt like time wasting, so I just cut up my school books and used the same illustrations again! No daily field trips to be had in geologically boring, built up North London UK, by bus! :)

Great question in Q and A about which side of a fault moves. Nick said both. Keep that in mind wen he talks later on about the Japan and Boxing Day sunamis. It has great relevance in explaining why both sides of the rupture generated sunsmis in opposite sides with the wave crests being 180 degrees out of phase. There is a great KZfaq video that was made as part of the final international commission into the Great Sumatra Earthquake, its causes and recommended responses. Including the extension of the Pacific Sunami warning network to include the whole globe. I can go to it further on Discord if people want.

The size of the tsunami caused by an underwater fault rupture is tied to the surface ground movement I would think. If the fault moves 30ft vertically and the hanging wall is measured to have moved 10ft, the tsunami would be smaller than if the hanging wall moved 30ft.

Watched again after live. There was a small event on the Seattle Fault involving Meydenbauer Bay in Bellevue when I lived there as a kid. The water rushed out of the bay ( flowed south) exposing the bottom, then filled back up again. It was reported in the Bellevue American weekly newspaper some time after 1957, and before the late 1960’s. Pretty sure it was before the ‘65 quake. Before they knew about the Seattle fault. Now I just need to find out what roots the Natives were digging for other than onion and camas (third root).

@Nick Zentner So the rotational direction is west northwest or close for my question. So if we have rotation pushing away from the costal region (or over the costal region) Then where is the point going east exposed if rotation is to the west? I am thinking it is the old subduction zone in Idaho or farther south ? If the rotational plate is rotating outward off the coast would there not be evidence of a pulling away from the old plate boundary? Maybe this is a stupid question...

Talk of 'hanging wall' always throws me off, because my mind automatically assumes it refers to one wall hanging off the other. It is interesting to learn of the surface from which miners hung their lamps, but it is easier to mentally picture the effect of compressional forces on a fracture plane without the mind being diverted into picturing 3D miners. [At school back in the '60s, teacher Roy Morris, was a popular figure like Nick without the electronic and video aids (only tape recorders and an occasional real of worn out borrowed film then!). His globe was a spherical blackboard on a wire from the ceiling, that Nick could usefully add to his chalk boards. One is used in an ancient YT clip of an early explanation of 'continental drift', that even has movable continents. We used to have to do a further 3D mental exercise of determining if faults 'haded with or against' the dip of the strata, which miners would need to know in order to dig in the righ place to get at the displaced target bed. That was even more of a brain twister than imagining hanging lamps from surfaces long eroded away! :) ]

Nick, I'm coming to this vid two years late so I'll understand if you don't see this; BUT.....my question is, is there any way to know how much of the thrust-fault movement on these faults in Puget Sound can be attributed to *_glacial rebound_* as opposed to strictly crustal compression?

@bagoquarks3 жыл бұрын
The compression phenomena, of which the faults in today's lecture are a symptom, is active. It is being closely tracked by a network of GPS sensors known as PANGA and managed at CWU. If you are referring to the fissures that fed the basalt flows that cover much of the Columbia River basin, they have been dormant for millions of years. The basalt formations have been deformed by the compression as Nick mentioned in the Q&A. However it is believed that the compression is caused by current tectonic forces while the fissure basalts were created by the Yellowstone Hot Spot long ago.

Nick: I'm no materials testing expert, but I did work in a testing lab for a while, and it strikes me that, when you are teaching about faults, it might help students visualise fault planes, if you play them some video of tensile tests on sheet materials, so they can see that the stresses usually resolve to a 45 degree break, which may be equivalent to the plane of a fault. Because of this, it is unlikely that they would find many faults other than strike slips where the fault plane was at 90 degrees to the original horizontal. Most tensile tests on YT seem to be on round bar, where the angle is not so obvious, but here is one plate example. You should be able to find clearer ones, or have a tester in your own college to video. m.kzfaq.infoEsRht8gF2A4
