San Andreas Fault Research

Put all pictures in an Appleworks document.


1. Go here and download the San Andreas - Carrizo Plain Google Earth file.

2. Double-Click the file to open it in Google Earth and find Wallace Creek. Take a picture with Apple-Shift-4. You may need to turn off layers that are clogging the scene with icons.

3. Find 2 other creeks that are offset due to the fault and take pictures of them. Explain why they are offset.

4. Download the Historic Faults file on the link above and find The Hayward fault and take a picture of where it goes through San Leandro.

5. Tools > Enter Flight Simulator and fly down the San Andreas Fault from San Francisco to LA. The Page UP button increases thrust and the page down button decreases thrust.
