Southern Great Basin seismological data report for 1980 and preliminary data analysis
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:59817
Earthquake data for the calendar year 1980 are presented for earthquakes occurring within and adjacent to the southern Nevada seismograph network. Locations, magnitudes, and selected focal mechanisms for these events and events from prior years of network operation are presented and discussed in relation to the geologic framework of the region. The principal results are that (1) earthquakes concentrate in fault zones having a northeast orientation, (2) fault zones having a northwest orientation are quiescent or nearly so, and (3) no earthquakes have been detected closer that 12 km to the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository study area. 12 refs., 13 figs., 1 tab.
