Teleseismic studies indicate existence of deep magma chamber below Yellowstone National Park
H. M. Iyer
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 3-7
The secrets of Yellowstone National Park's spectacular geysers and other hot water and steam phenomena are being explored by the U.S Geological Survey with the aid of distant earthquakes (teleseisms). For some time geologists have known that the remarkable array of steam and hot water displays, for which the park...
Earthquakes, January-February 1974
W. J. Person
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 18-19
During the first 2 months of 1974, earthquakes caused fatalities in Peru and Turkey. The largest earthquake during the period was a magnitude 7.2 shock in the New Hebrides Islands. A local tsunami was generated by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake in the Solomon Islands. The relative quiet that characterized world...
Earthquakes, November-December 1973
W. J. Person
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 26-27
A number of significant earthquakes happened during the last 2 months of 1973. Two major earthquakes (magnitude 7.0-7.9) occurred in the New Hebrides Islands, bringing the final major earthquake total for the year to 11, somewhat below the annual average which is 18. One great earthquake (magntidue 8.0 and above)...
Relationships between chemical structure and rat repellency. II. Compounds screened between 1950 and 1960
W.A. Bowles, V. A. Adomaitis, J.B. DeWitt, J.J. Pratt Jr.
1974, Report
Over 4,600 compounds, chiefly organic types, were evaluated using both a food acceptance test (Part A) and a barrier penetration bioassay (Part B), to correlate relationships between chemical structure and rodent repellency.These chemicals are indexed and classified according to the functional groups present and to the degree of substitution within...
Earthquake history of Mississippi
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 20-21
Since its admission into the Union in 1817, Mississippi has had only four earthquakes of intensity V or greater within its borders. Although the number of earthquakes known to have been centered within Mississippi's boundaries is small, the State has been affected by numerous shocks located in neighboring States. In...
Earthquake history of Nebraska
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 32-33
Nebraska is in a region of moderate seismicity occasionally punctuated by rather strong earthquakes. Most of the State is seismic risk zone 1, with a small part in the southeast corner in risk zone 2. the first significant earthquake felt in Nebraska occurred in 1867, the year that statehood was...
Earthquake history of Nevada
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 26-29
Since 1852, more than 30 shocks of intensity VI or greater (Modified Mercalli scale) have occurred in western Nevada. At least three of these were classified as intensity X. In addition, seven earthquakes (intensity VI or greater) were centered in the eastern part of the State. Almost 2,000 other shocks...
Earthquake history of Missouri
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 24-26
Most of Missouri's earthquake activity has been concentrated in the southeast corner of the State, which lies within the New Madrid seismic zone. As recently as Merch 29, 1972, the region was jolted by a magnitude 3.7 shock that was felt over a 168,000 square kilometre area including parts of...
Earthquake history of Minnesota
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 28-29
French traders and missionaries were active in the region that is now Minnesota as early as the 1650's; however, settlement proceeded slowly and the area was not organized as a territory until 1849. Minnesota was admitted to the Union as the 32nd State on May 11, 1858. the earthquake history...
Earthquake history of Montana
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 30-35
Montana is one of the most seismically active States in the Union. Since 1925, the State has experienced five shocks that reached intensity VIII or greater (Modified Mercalli Scale). During the same interval hundreds of less severe tremors were felt within the State. Montana's earthquake activity is concentrated mostly in...
Comparative toxicity of two Iodophors to rainbow trout eggs
Donald F. Amend
1974, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (103) 73-78
Toxicity of Wescodyne(R) and Betadine(R) to eyed eggs was not adversely affected by water hardness (as calcium and magnesium) or by exposure periods up to 60 min. Both iodophors were much more toxic below pH 6.0 than at pH 8.0. In general Wescodyne was slightly more toxic than Betadine. Significant egg loss...
Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972

1974, Report
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a...

Laboratory experiments duplicate conditions in the Earth’s crust
L. Peselnick, James H. Dieterich, R.M. Stewart
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 10-15
An experimental device that simulates conditions in the Earth's crust at depths of up to 30 kilometers has been constructed by geophysicists working at the U.S Geological Survey laboratories in Menlo Park, California. A high pressure "bomb" is being used to experimentally measure the velocity of seismic waves in different...
An antigenic comparison between infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (OSV strain) and the virus of haemorrhagic septicaemia of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) (Denmark strain) by cross neutralization
P. E. McAllister, J. L. Fryer, K.S. Pilcher
1974, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (10) 101-103
The infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (OSV strain) and the virus of haemorrhagic septicaemia of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) (Denmark strain) were examined for possible antigenic relationship by plaque neutralization using homologous and heterologous antisera. No neutralization of either virus was observed on exposure to heterologous antiserum. This indicates that there...
The role of lava erosion in the formation of lunar rilles and Martian channels
M. H. Carr
1974, Icarus (22) 1-23
Lava tubes and channels develop around active sources of low viscosity lava. The channels normally form without erosion; however, sustained flow can result in the incision of a lava channel and simulation of fluvial erosion features. Lava erosion by means of thermal incision...

Heat flow from eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia
J.H. Sass, R. J. Munroe, T. H. Moses Jr.
1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (21) 134-142
Heat flows were determined at 12 sites in four distinct areas between longitude 77° and 80°W in eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia. Evidently, most of the region is underlain by mafic oceanic crust so that the crustal radiogenic component of heat...
Oil shale development and its environmental considerations
R.T. Stone, H. Johnson, A. Decora
1974, Conference Paper, Preprints
The petroleum shortage recently experienced by many nations throughout the world has created an intense interest in obtaining new and supplemental energy sources. In the United States, this interest has been centered on oil shale. Any major action by the federal government having significant environmental effects requires compliance with the...
