February 9, 1971, San Fernando Earthquake. Demonstrating the vulnerability of the modern urban society to the damaging effects of a nearby earthquake. Overturned equipment at the Sylmar electrical converter station. Power distribution to more than 600,000 customers in southern California was disrupted because of widespread damage to electrical power facilities. Photo by T. L. Youd. Los Angeles County, California. 1971. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1360 as Figure 2-C. 1985.
February 9, 1971, San Fernando Earthquake. Demonstrating the vulnerability of the modern urban society to the damaging effects of a nearby earthquake. Oblique aerial view of collapsed highway over- passes and bridges at the interchange of the Foothill and Golden State Freeways. Because the earthquake occurred early in the morning, only three deaths resulted from this damage. However, the principal highway link between northern and southern California was temporarily cut, and traffic had to be re-routed for several months. See also California Earthquake image 005. Photo by R. E. Wallace. Los Angeles County, California. 1971. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1360 as Figure 2-B. 1985.

San Fernando Earthquake. February 1971. Collapsed overpass at interchange of Highways 5 (GOLDEN STATE FREEWAY), and 210 (FOOTHILL FREEWAY), seismic shaking, compression, and extension along length of roadway are all responsible for damage, view looking east. Overpass was completed but not all segments were yet in service. San Fernando Valley Juvenile Hall at right, Feb 11, 1971.

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. Note the prominent development of en echelon fissures oriented at about a 15 degree angle to the fault trace and open 27 centimeters in the foreground with connecting pressure ridges to 40 centimeters high. 1976. Slide 12, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 77-165.

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. South along a secondary fault of the Mixco zone that intersects an excavation for a sedimentation basin in Guatemala City's new water treatment plant. The fault, which dips 60 degrees west (to the right) is visible in the wall of the excavation in the background and was exposed in the line of pits in the floor of the excavation. Soil horizons in the Pleistocene tephra in the wall of the excavation are offset at least 7 meters, indicating repeated movement on this same strand during late Quaternary time. Because of the faulting, the design of the settling basin had to be changed to avoid the fault trace. Available information suggests that at least part of the 5 centimeters displacement...
