Geology Field Lecture

Great lecture by Dr. Andrew Meigs of Oregon State University at Pleasant Valley, Nevada. The fault scarp with several meters of offset is depicted in the background and zoomed in upon at ~2:40. Seismologist John Nabelek of COAS on the right contributes some knowledgeable questions/clarification. Although not on this video segment, i did bring up the issue of a fault step from one fault system to another. Other research has shown that a step over 5km often ceases earthquake rupture and this area MAY exceed that general trend (which is pretty cool).
