Quakes in CaliforniaThe highest concentration is near the big
faults; San Andreas, Cape MendocinoOther areas also have many little
quakes Mammoth Mts. - 1000’s of quakes per year Coso Hot Springs - geothermal activity
Probably no area in California is safe from occasional little quakes

Sierra Nevada Mts.
From 80 to 30 My Farallon plate was subducting under west coast.
Produced great range of volcanoes, like present-day Andes Mt.
Sierras are the cooled, solidified, uplifted magma chambers of the volcanic arc (Yosemite granite)

Diblee Maps
Tom Diblee single-handedly mapped large sections of California geology … mainly on foot
Tom often mapped in remote areas, camping out with enough food and water for a week, sleeping each night sheltered from the wind on the car seat with one door open and a board extending outward on which to rest his legs. This enabled him to cover a lot of ground at little expense.

Depth of California quakes
Definite lower limit to seismicity that varies from 5-25 km Set by temperature and composition of rock
Mostly temperature Shallowest under the Salton Sea
Where it is the hottest
Spots surrounded by seismicity with fewer quakes may be either creeping or locked
Not so many earthquakes in top few km Rock is not so strong there?
