Note that I use plagiarism detection software like “Turnitin.com” and “SafeAssign” on the assignments that you turn in to me. Any evidence that you plagiarized will result in a big, fat ZERO on your assignment.9) This assignment can earn you up to 15 EC points for this assignmentPart 1 - Overview of San Andreas Fault System (5 points).a ) Where exactly is the San Andreas Fault system (SAFS) located in California? Be asspecific as possible in describing the geographic regions/city centers where the fault systemruns through. Also include the geographic points where it starts and stops.b) What are the dimensions of the fault system? How long (in kilometers) from its north end to itssouth end? How wide (in kilometers) from the west side to the east side across southernCalifornia? How deep does the SAF fault extend down into the crust?c) What is the most common type of fault found in the San Andreas Fault system in California?What specific type of fault is the San Andreas fault? Include its relative offset motion direction d) What specific type of plate tectonic boundary does the SAFS represent? (Include the followingin you answer: 1) tectonic boundary type; 2) the names of the two tectonic plates that areinvolved; and 3) indicate the specific lateral movement direction relative to each other)e) How long ago did the SAFS first develop (in millions of years)? Also note where in California did it first show up. Lastly, what geologic events lead to the initiation of the SAF in the first place?f) What type of plate tectonic boundary occurred prior to the development of the present-daySAFS (Include the tectonic boundary type and the names of the two plates involved andtheir movement relative to each other)?g) What are the names of the five most major active faults found within the SouthernCalifornia_segment of the SAFS? Note that you need to list the names of at least five active Southern California faults found between the Salton Sea and Catalina Island.h ) What is the name for the closest active SAFS fault here in the San Diego area? (Hint: it runs right through downtown San Diego, and it has the word "Canyon" in it!). How large of an earthquake is this fault currently believed to be able to generate?I) What is the most active fault today in the southern segment (Southern California) of the SAFS (most active over the last several decades)? Which fault in Southern California is considered the most dangerous today and why?Part 2 – History of San Andreas Fault (5 points).a ) What is the total transform offset movement (in kilometers) along the San Andreas Fault,based on the roughly 20 million year life-history of the fault? This question is asking you howfar has the two adjoining plates moves laterally past each other in the last 20 million years. b) How do geologists determine the total amount of transform offset along the SAF? Thisquestion asks you how geologists go about finding clues (offset markers) to how much total lateral movement has occurred between the adjoining plates over the fault's 20 plus million history.c) What is the average annual slip rate measured along the San Andreas Fault proper? (Note that there may be slight variations in average slip rate for each of the three segments: northern, middle and southern).d) How do geologists determine the average annual slip rate along the SAF? Hint: It’s not by using a seismometer. Think about both collected real time data and historic datae) Great quakes or “Big Ones” have a Richter magnitudes of 7.8 or greater. When and where did the last two "Big Ones" (7.8M or larger earthquakes) occur along the San Andreas Fault? (List the location, year, and magnitude of each of the two great quakes).f) What is the average frequency, or recurrence rate, for a "Big One" quake along the San Andreas Fault? In others words, how often (how many years apart) do we get a "Big One" on the SAF? Again, this is only for quakes 7.8M or larger.g) Finally, what is the average rupture offset (in meters) for a "Big One" quake along the San Andreas Fault? In other words, how much lateral wrenching movement occurs between the two adjoining plates when the fault zone breaks with sudden lateral offset during the quake.h ) What types of methods and tools are used by seismologists to monitor fault activity and fault displacement along the San Andreas Fault and its associated faults? In other words, how do seismologists measure and record fault stresses, and local movement on active faults? Briefly describe each method, including the specific types of scientific tools and equipment used. Note: You need to list and describe at least two different methods/tools for full credit.Part 3 – Quake Prediction and Hazards (5 points).a ) Can geologists accurately predict earthquakes in the SAFS, or anywhere else in theworld? For example, a seismologist at Cal Tech predicts that the southern segment of the San Andrea fault will rupture 10 miles NW of the town of Palm Springs on July 4th of 2020 with a magnitude of 7.9M. Is this currently possible or not? Why, or why not? Briefly explain why, or why not.b) Can geologists determine the statistical probability of when (how often and the odds of one occurring at any given time) a major earthquake will take place along a specific fault in theSAFS? For example, a seismologist at Cal Tech states that the probability that the southern segment of the San Andrea fault will rupture somewhere between Palmdale and Palm Springs with a magnitude of 7.9M in the year 2016 is roughly 1 in 500, and that that particular segment of the fault ruptures on average every 400 years or so. Why or why not? Briefly explain why or why not.c) Accurately define an “earthquake hazard". What are the specific types of seismic hazards associated with large earthquake events within the SAFS and the sorts of damage that it causes? Be thorough (you should have listed and described at least four types of earthquake hazards associated with a quake event.d) Which type of seismic hazard do you think are the most dangerous for the San Andreas fault system and why? What is the likelihood that a large SAF earthquake causes the formation of a tsunami (like in the movie “San Andres” with the Rock? Explain your answer as whether it’s likely or unlikely.e) List and discuss some the ways that governments, engineers and emergency agencies address those hazards, in terms of infrastructure (buildings, bridges, dams, power lines, roads, gas lines, etc) integrity, action protocols for dealing with these hazards: before, during, and after a big quake - everything they do to minimize negative effects? Try to be thorough.f) What are some of the most important things that you should do (or not do) DURING and AFTER a large earthquake - at home, at the office, and/or while driving?g) How currently prepared are you for a big earthquake? List and describe the various ways that you and your family can be best prepared for the coming "Big One" - at home, at the office, and/or while driving.h) How much has this research project increased your knowledge and understanding of the San Andreas Fault system? If you live in coastal California, did this research change your feelings about living here, in terms of comfort level and sense of personal security? In other words, are you any more or less frightened or concerned about being caught in a large earthquake someday?

Try to be thorough.f) What are some of the most important things that you should do (or not do) DURING and AFTER a large earthquake - at home, at the office, and/or while driving?g) How currently prepared are you for a big earthquake? List and describe the various ways that you and your family can be best prepared for the coming "Big One" - at home, at the office, and/or while driving.h) How much has this research project increased your knowledge and understanding of the San Andreas Fault system? If you live in coastal California, did this research change your feelings about living here, in terms of comfort level and sense of personal security? In other words, are you any more or less frightened or concerned about being caught in a large earthquake someday?
