  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Gravity and seismic measurements&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;southern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;Owens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;Valley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;California&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, have outlined a deep&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;subsurface&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;trough, bounded throughout the greater part of its length by steep faults. Depths to the bedrock floor along the central part of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;valley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;range from 3,000 to 9,000 ft below the surface. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;subsurface&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;trough is divided into two parts, a narrow channel-like depression near Lone Pine bounded by northwest-trending faults, and a broad basin at&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;Owens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Lake bounded by a more complex series of border faults. The bedrock ridge that crops out to form Alabama Hills is shown to extend from Independence to the north edge of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;Owens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Lake, nearly twice its visible extent. The main direction of faults that have formed the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;valley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;is northwest; subsidiary faults trend north, northeast, and east. A fairly sharp velocity boundary within the Cenozoic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;valley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;deposits suggests a change&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;the rate and character of deposition which was probably the result of renewed uplift&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;the nearby mountains.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
