California Geologic Regions and Hazards Presentation DAY 2

Today we will learn about 7 provinces that make up the north and south part of the state. We will start in the south Let’s begin... and finish in the north.

Name of Province: Transverse Range

Transverse Range Color in province Put color in legend Write province name in legend

Transverse Ranges The Transverse Ranges are a steep east- west trending series of mountain ranges. Description of Province: N S E W

Transverse Ranges Intense folding of the petroleum rich sedimentary rock makes this an important oil producing area.

Transverse Ranges The Transverse Ranges extend to the Pacific Ocean.

Transverse Ranges The Transverse Ranges also include the island group of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz islands.

What geologic hazards would you expect to find in this province?

Hazards : Earthquakes Landslides Floods Along the Coast: Coastal Erosion Tsunamis

Specific Event: Earthquake Santa Barbara 1925, June Magnitude dead; $8 million in property damage

Specific Event: Landslide at La Conchita January 10, 2005 Destroyed or seriously damaged 36 houses and killed 10 people.

Transverse Ranges Add the symbols of the hazards to your map.

Name of Province: Peninsular Ranges

Peninsular Ranges Color in province Put color in legend Write province name in legend

Peninsular Ranges The Peninsular Ranges are a series of northwest trending ranges that are parallel to the San Andreas Fault Zone. Description of Province:

Peninsular Ranges Like the Sierra Nevada, the Peninsular Ranges are composed of granite (once magma) intruded into older metamorphic rocks.

Peninsular Ranges

Los Angeles is located in the Peninsular Ranges.

Peninsular Ranges The Peninsular Range also includes the island group of Santa Catalina, Santa Barbara, San Clemente and San Nicolas islands.

What geologic hazards would you expect to find in this province?

Hazards: Floods Landslides Earthquakes Along the Coast: Coastal Erosion Tsunamis

Specific Event Northridge Earthquake 01/17/1994 Magnitude Dead 1500-Seriously Injured $15 Billion in Damage

Specific Event: Floods in Southern California Dead; $1.34 Billion in Damages

Peninsular Ranges Add the symbols of the hazards to your map.
