The structure and origin of the large submarine canyons of the Bering Sea
D.W. Scholl, E. C. Buffington, D.M. Hopkins, T. R. Alpha
1970, Marine Geology (8) 187-210
Three exceptionally large and long submarine canyons — Bering, Pribilof, and Zhemchug — incise the continental slope underlying the southeastern Bering Sea. Bering Canyon, the world's longest known slope valley, is approximately 400 km long and has a volume of 4,300 km3. The volume of Pribilof Canyon is 1,300 km3 and...
Rapid changes in the head of the Rio Balsas Submarine Canyon system, Mexico
E. Reimnitz, M. Gutierrez-Estrada
1970, Marine Geology (8) 245-258
The investigation of a river delta and the heads of several nearby submarine canyons in western Mexico produced evidence for rapid changes in the configuration and depth of the nearshore portions of canyon tributaries. General scarcity of data on the rates of submarine...
Development of the Astoria Canyon-Fan physiography and comparison with similar systems
C.H. Nelson, P.R. Carlson, J.V. Byrne, T. R. Alpha
1970, Marine Geology (8) 259-291
A detailed bathymetric study of Astoria Canyon and Astoria Fan provides a model for typical submarine canyon-fan systems. The present canyon head is 9 miles (17 km) west of the Columbia River mouth but buried Pleistocene channels appear to have connected the two features in the past. The canyon, which...
The mechanics of stick-slip
J.D. Byerlee
1970, Tectonophysics (9) 475-486
Physical mechanisms that have been proposed to explain the occurrence of stick-slip motion during frictional sliding have been examined in the light of results obtained from experiments with rocks and brittle minerals. An instability caused by sudden brittle fracture of locked regions on...
Submarine basalt from the Revillagigedo Islands region, Mexico
J.G. Moore
1970, Marine Geology (9) 331-345
Ocean-floor dredging and submarine photography in the Revillagigedo region off the west coast of Mexico reveal that the dominant exposed rock of the submarine part of the large island-forming volcanoes (Roca Partida and San Benedicto) is a uniform alkali pillow basalt; more siliceous rocks are exposed on the upper, subaerial...
Water resources data for Idaho, water year 1969: Part 1. Surface water records
U.S. Geological Survey
1970, Water Data Report ID-69-1
Surface-water records for the 1969 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of Idaho are given in this report and their locations shown in figures 2 and 3. Records for a few selected gaging stations in bordering States also are included. The records were...
Geology of the Bushrod Island-New Georgia clay deposit near Monrovia, Liberia
Lawrence Vernon Blade
1970, Open-File Report 70-29
The Bushrod Island-New Georgia clay deposit near Monrovia, Liberia, consisted of interlensing clay and very fine to fine quartz sand; it was deposited in elongate subparallel troughs that had been eroded in coarse-grained sediments. The troughs are interpreted as abandoned stream channels on a former delta of the St. Paul...
Hydrology of the Upper Malad River basin, southeastern Idaho
Edward J. Pluhowski
1970, Water Supply Paper 1888
The report area comprises 485 square miles in the Basin and Range physiographic province. It includes most of eastern' Oneida County and parts of Franklin, Bannock, and Power Counties of southeastern Idaho. Relief is about 5,000 feet; the floor of the Malad Valley is at an average altitude of about...
