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 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...
Availability of ground water in the lower Pawcatuck River basin, Rhode Island
Joseph B. Gonthier, Herbert E. Johnston, Glenn T. Malmberg
1974, Water Supply Paper 2033
The lower Pawcatuck River basin in southwestern Rhode Island is an area of about 169 square miles underlain by crystalline bedrock over which lies a relatively thin mantle of glacial till and stratified drift. Stratified drift, consisting dominantly of sand and gravel, occurs in irregularly shaped linear deposits that are...
Hazards to animals feeding on blackbirds killed with 4-aminopyridine baits
E. W. Schafer Jr., R.B. Brunton, Norman F. Lockyer
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 424-426
Red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) killed by ingesting cracked corn baits treated with 3 percent 4-aminopyridine, or by oral doses of 4-aminopyridine, were fed to canines, laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus), black-billed magpies (Pica pica), and three species of hawks. The test animals consumed the equivalent of up to 3.4 LD50 doses...

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...
Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972
B.B. Hampton
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...
Porosity, density, grain density, and related physical properties of sediments from the Red Sea drill cores
Frank T. Manheim, Linda Dwight, Rebecca A. Belastock
1974, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (23) 887-907
Representative sediments from each site were chosen for examination of their dry specific gravity and grain density. The determinations were made by micropycnometer; water was used as the displacing medium, and salt corrections were based on the refractive index measurements on interstitial water. For saltier brines the "salinities" derived from...
Stable isotope and lead isotope study of the Cortez, Nevada, gold deposit and surrounding area
R. O. Rye, B. R. Doe, J. D. Wells
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 13-23
Isotope studies of sulfur, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and lead were carried out to clarify the age and origin of the Cortex gold deposit and the surrounding mineralized area. The hydrogen isotope data indicate that meteoric water was the dominant component of the ore-forming fluids at Cortez. The hydrogen isotope data support geologic evidence for a...

Reconnaissance of the water resources in the vicinity of proposed deep-well injection sites in southeast Dade County, Florida
J.E. Earle, F.W. Meyer
1973, Open-File Report 73-65
Deep-well injection has been selected by the Dade County Water and Sewer Authority as a means of disposing treated waste water in southeast Dade County. Preliminary plans call for the construction of a county-owned sanitary sewage treatment plant and several 3,000-foot deep injection wells at 1,000-foot intervals on Levee 31E....

1973, Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey Water-Resources Bulletin 18
During the 1970-1972 water years a net load of dissolved solids of 0.26 billion tons moved from the south to north part of Great Salt Lake, Utah, through the causeway of the Southern Pacific Transportation Co. The load loss from the south part during the 1972 water year was only...
