Album caption: Flow failure down a hillside slope on the Nunez Ranch 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Half Moon Bay. Note the man standing at the base of the deposited debris and a second man standing on the lower edge of the cavity at the top of the slide. Additional incipient flow failures with much smaller movements also occurred on the convex hill to the left of the principal landslide. Photograph previously published in Lawson and others (1908, pl. 133B) with caption "Earth-flow 4 miles east of Half Moon Bay." San Mateo County, California. 1906. Published as figure 22 in U. S.

Guatemala Earthquake 1976. A suggested model showing combined relative movement between the North American (green), Cocos (blue), and Caribbean (yellow and orange) plates and within the Caribbean plate to account for the complex tectonics of northern Middle America. Predominantly extensional faulting (blue zones) has caused fragmentation of the western part of the Caribbean plate. As a consequence, the northern part of the plate (yellow) may be decoupling from the southern part (orange) along the major northwest- southeast trending system of graben that follows the volcanoes (black dots) of the Middle America arc. White arrows show directions and relative amounts of long term movements of the plates and plate fragments;...

Imperial Valley, California, Earthquake October 15, 1979. Brawley Fault zone at Keystone Road site 100 (location shown on Plate 1, Professional paper 1254). The cracks in the pavement and in the field on the right follow the trace of the 1975 surface displacement. The dark vegetation just east of the trace formed an abrupt lineament at the fault trace before the earthquake; part of the darkness at the trace is due to low-sun shadowing of the scarp that faces west toward the camera. The fracturing near the crest of the scarp generally forms a single continuous break, although locally, multiple echelon fractures also occur on this fault strand. View is east-southeast. Photo by M.J. Rymer, October 23, 1979. Figure...

Guatemala Earthquake 1976. Westward along the Motagua fault trace in the lower Motagua Valley. The trace here is marked by the dark line of fissures extending from the creek in the foreground through the giant ceiba (balsam) tree trunk and then along a prominent north facing scarp in the background. The tree was split and toppled by fault movement of at least 72 centimeters sinistral and 37 centimeters down to the north displacement. The vegetation- covered north facing scarp behind the tree, which is 5 meters high, was probably formed by many repeated earlier movements along this same trace. 1976. Slide 18, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 77-165.
Index card: A small buckled fence along Montana State Highway 499 (former State Highway 287). A small earth slump from hill showing on the right of the photo compressed the fence and buckled it. Hebgen Lake to the left of the photograph just beyond the fields. Madison Range in the background. Hebgen Lake earthquake. Gallatin County, Montana. August 1959,

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 9, 1971, 6:01am PST. (Roll 10, Frame 4). Oblique air view northeast into Pacoima Canyon, of housing development northeast of Shinsaw Ave., and Hubbard Street. (Far northeast corner of Sylmar Area). Many homes in this area were condemned due to damage during the quake. Hazy portion of picture is due to dust clouds produced by landslides which continue for several days after quake. Feb 11, 1971.
Album caption: Cape Fortunes (False Cape) landslide, one of the largest landslides triggered by the 1906 shock. View toward toe showing extension of toe into Pacific Ocean in background. Similar photograph previously published by Lawson and others (1908, pl. 127B) with caption "Earth-slump at Cape Fortunas, Humboldt County." Humboldt County, California. 1906. Published as figure 67-B in U. S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 993. 1978. (Not available from U. S. G. S. Photo Library. Photograph by A.S. Eakle, courtesy of The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley.)

Guatemala Earthquake 1976. Ground cracks in unconsolidated alluvial deposits along the Motagua River north of Quebradas in the lower Motagua Valley. The cracks are believed to result from liquefaction of the water-saturated sediments with resultant spreading and slumping towards the river channel. Photo by S.B. Bonis, Guatemala Geological Survey, 1976. Slide 38, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 77-165.
