The location is .5 degree south, and is corrected in this dataset. This cover contains locations of places where greatest horizontal compressive stress (S(Hmax)) orientations have been determined either by observation of well-bore breakouts or where focal mechanism solutions have been determined from earthquakes. Well-bore breakouts are observed from 0 to 1.4 km, whereas earthquakes generally occur deeper. The earthquake focal mechanisms show both reverse and strike-slip faulting. Overall the stress indicators show easterly trending S(Hmax). Purpose: The data was generated to help in understanding the seismotectonic hazards in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley. This data complements similar data collected in the vicinity of New Madrid, MO (US Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-0574, available via ftp at ) Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 1975 Ending_Date: 1995 Status: Progress: complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: none planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -92.19999695 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -87.40000153 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 39.29999924 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 35.20000076 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: stress orientations Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Wabash Valley Access_Constraints: none Use_Constraints: none Point_of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Susan Rhea Contact_Organization: US Geological Survey Contact_Position: Geophysicist Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing address Address: MS966, Box 25046, Federal Center City: Denver State_or_Province: CO Postal_Code: 80225 Country: USA Contact_Voice_Telephone: 303-273-8639 Contact_Facsimile_Telephone: 303-273-8600 Contact_Electronic_Mail_Address: rhea@usgs.gov Contact_Instructions: email is the best way to make contact Native_Data_Set_Environment: SunOS, 5.5.1, sun4u UNIX, ARC/INFO version 7.1.1 Cross_Reference: Citation_Information: Originator: Rhea, Susan, and Wheeler, R.L.
