1872 Lone Pine Earthquake - Fault Scarp & California Geology | Out in the Field with Jeremy Patrich

Join me on an adventure, 'Out in the Field' as I adventure out to explore the epicenter of one of the largest earthquakes in recorded California History - The 1872 Lone Pine Fault Scarp. The 1872 Owens Valley earthquake struck on March 26 at 02:30am local time in the Owens Valley (California, along the east side of the Sierra Nevada), with the epicenter near the town of Lone Pine. The result was a vertical uplift of 20ft and a right-lateral shift of over 25ft. We also discuss the formation of the Sag Pond- Diaz Lake and the Lone Pine Fault Common Grave Site. 🧭 Find Jeremy here: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calgeog/?hl=en 📧 E-mail: CaliforniaGeographer@gmail.com 🌐 Website: www.BackyardGeographer.com Access the Free OER Physical Geography Textbook Here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder... #Geography, #Geology, #LonePine, #geologyforbeginners, #earthquake The quake was felt strongly as far away as Sacramento, where citizens were startled out of bed and into the streets. Giant rockslides in what is now Yosemite National Park woke naturalist John Muir, then living in Yosemite Valley, who reportedly ran out of his cabin shouting, "A noble earthquake!" and promptly made a moonlit survey of the fresh talus piles. This earthquake stopped clocks and awakened people in San Diego to the south, Red Bluff, to the north, and Elko, Nevada, to the east. The shock was felt over most of California and much of Nevada. Thousands of aftershocks occurred, some severe. Researchers later estimated that similar earthquakes occur on the Lone Pine fault every 3,000–4,000 years. However, the Lone Pine fault is only one of many faults on two parallel systems.
