Neotectonics and volcanism at Yucca Mountain and vicinity, Nevada
Conference

OSTI ID:5566275
Yucca Mountain is located within the Walker Lane belt, a northwest-trending zone of oroclinal bending and strike-slip faulting that divides the southern Great Basin into two parts: an area to the northeast dominated by extensional faulting and an area to the southwest in which both strike-slip faulting and extensional faulting are important. Post-11 million years before present (m.y.B.P.)-tectonism at or near Yucca Mountain has involved volcanism, oroclinal bending, extensional faulting, and strike-slip faulting. Efforts to characterize the geology and seismicity of the area and the implications thereof are discussed.
