Guatemala Earthquake 1976. Eastward along the trace of the Motagua fault near Zacapa, showing deformation of a thin hard adobe surface soil due to 80 centimeters sinistral slip.

Guatemala Earthquake 1976. North along rows in a cultivated field west of El Progreso that are offset 105 centimeters in a sinistral sense by slip on the Motagua fault. The thick, saturated surficial unconsolidated deposits have yielded by plastic deformation rather than rupture. 1976. Slide 11, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 77-165.

Guatemala Earthquake 1976. Collapse of three spans of the Agua Caliente bridge on the road to the Atlantic Ocean. This bridge was constructed in 1959, and its loss, together with many landslides, cut the highway connection to the Atlantic. Several large railroad and highway bridges were badly damaged but did not collapse. 1976. Slide 47, U.S. Geological Survey Open- File Report 77-165.

Index card: Red Canyon fault scarp as exposed along the south flank of Kirkwood Ridge near the head of Kirkwood Creek. The fault scarp here is wholly in colluvial debris. Part of the slickensides have been chopped away to show the general texture of the material. Slickensides dip downslope, reflecting direction of the movement of colluvium. Hebgen Lake earthquake, Gallatin County, Montana. August 1959.

Imperial Valley, California, Earthquake October 15, 1979. Line of sand boils at site 11 (location shown on Plate 1, Professional paper 1254) in a field about 1 kilometer north of Bonds Corner. The spacing between sand boils is as much as tens of meters. Some small fissures are associated with individual sand boils, but no fissures are through-going. View is north. Photo by T.L. Youd.
