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...

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...

Hydrologic implications of solid-water disposal
William Joseph Schneider
1970, Circular 601-F
The disposal of more than 1,400 million pounds of solid wastes in the United States each day is a major problem. This disposal in turn often leads to serious health, esthetic, and environmental problems. Among these is the pollution of vital ground-water resources. Of the six principal methods of solid-waste disposal...

Floods of December 1966 in southwestern Utah
Elmer Butler, J. C. Mundorff
1970, Water Supply Paper 1870-A
Severe floods occurred in parts of southwestern Utah on December 5-6, 1966, as a result of precipitation of about 1 inch to more than 12 inches during December 3-6. The flood on the Virgin River was the greatest since the first settlers arrived in 1860.The peak discharge of the Virgin...
Ground-water resources of the Clatsop Plains sand-dune area, Clatsop County, Oregon
F. J. Frank
1970, Water Supply Paper 1899-A
Although the average annual precipitation of the Clatsop Plains is 78.5 inches, the area is not without problems of water supply. The Clatsop Plains area ix underlain by Tertiary bedrock of low permeability that stores and yields small quantities of ground water, which may be of poor chemical quality. This...
Reconnaissance of the Pigeon River, a cold-water river in the northcentral part of Michigan's southern peninsula
G. E. Hendrickson, C. J. Doonan
1970, Hydrologic Atlas 333
The cold-water streams of the northern states provide unique recreational values to the American people (wilderness or semi-wilderness atmosphere, fast-water canoeing, and trout fishing), but the expanding recreational needs must be balanced against the growing demand of water for public and industrial supplies, for irrigation, and for the dilution of...

1970, Open-File Report 70-51
Hurricane Camille became a tropical depression and soaked central Virginia with up to 28 inches of rain during the night of August 19th and morning of the 20th. The rains, flash floods, and rain-induced landslides accompanying the storm's passage have been called the worst natural disaster ever to strike Virginia.Discharge...
