General breakdown:
Baymud
:
flat area near bay- marshland
Unconsolidated sediments:
area that is flat toward the hills- sediment from hills filling in basin
Bedrock
: hills (not all hills are stable but for this discussion we will assume this)Slide6

When the Bay Area Quakes
Understand general earthquake hazards
Know the general location of faults in the Bay Area
Have a general idea of the topography and earth materials of the Bay Area
Movie: specific locations of hazards; structural failures (Cypress structure addressed); forecasting
eqs
- recurrence interval and
seismic gap
