  13. Title: Relative Liquefaction Susceptibility of Monterey County, California, 2001

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains areas of relative liquefaction suceptability in Monterey County, California. A common type of ground failure associated with moderate and large earthquakes is liquefaction in which water-saturated fine-grained cohesionless sediments lose strength and may fail during strong ground shaking. Liquefaction susceptibility depends on the age and type of material, relative density of the material, and the depth to first (shallowest) water. Generally, younger sediments (especially latest Holocene that are less than 1,000 years old) such as loose fill, river channel, and flood plain deposits are more likely to liquefy than older Pleistocene terrace deposits. Relative liquefaction susceptibility was evaluated using a simplified version of the methodology developed for the Monterey Bay area by the USGS (Dupré and Tinsley, 1980; Dupré, 1990; Pike and others, 1994). The resulting data set shows that the areas of highest susceptibility include the Salinas, Carmel, San Antonio, and Peachtree Valleys. This layer is part of a collection describing Geology resources and constraints Monterey County, California. This map depicts the relative liquefaction susceptibility of sediments in Monterey County. The purpose of this map is to provide a comparison of relative liquefaction susceptibility for regional planning studies in Monterey County. Rosenberg, Lewis I. (2001).

  15. Title: Isohyetal Contours, Monterey County, California, 2001

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile contains isohyetal contours showing the average rainfall in inches per year for the Monterey County, California. Contours were mainly developed from countywide rainfall records collected by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency and in the area north of Salinas from research by the Santa Clara Valley Water District. This layer is part of a collection describing Geology resources and constraints Monterey County, California. The purpose of this data set is to aid in evaluating the countywide rainfall amounts, which in turn influence other processes such as aquifer recharge potential. Rosenberg, Lewis, I. (2001).

  16. Title: Mineral Resource Zones of Monterey County, California, 1999

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contains the distribution of Mineral Resource Zones for Monterey County, California. Construction minerals such as sand, gravel, and stone are classified by the State Geologist into four mineral resource zones based on the likelihood of the presence of mineral deposits and their economic value. The areas that contain minerals that can be economically extracted are classified as MRZ 2 and are essential for supplying aggregate used in residential, commercial, and industrial building projects, as well as in public-works projects such as roads, bridges, and pipelines. This layer is part of a collection describing Geology resources and constraints Monterey County, California. The intended use of this map is to provide a mineral resource zonation for regional planning studies. Rosenberg, Lewis I. (2001). Mineral Resource Zones of Monterey County, California, 1999.

  17. Title: Paleontological Resources of Monterey County, California, 2001

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile depicts paleontological resources within Monterey County, California. Fossils provide important evidence to help determine what happened in Earth history and when it happened. Today the animals and plants that live in the ocean are very different from those that live on land, and the animals and plants that live in one part of the ocean or on one part of the land are very different from those in other parts. Similarly, fossil animals and plants from different environments are different. It becomes a challenge to recognize rocks of the same age when one rock was deposited on land and another was deposited in the deep ocean. Scientists must study the fossils from a variety of environments to build a complete picture of the animals and plants that were living at a particular time in the past (Edwards and Pojeta, 1999). Because fossils are so useful to science, they need to be considered a resource and properly managed. The purpose of this database is to provide information on the type of fossil and the location so that these fossils may be preserved for science. Rosenberg, Lewis, I. and Clark, Joseph C. (2001).

  18. Title: Estimated 1997 Soil Profile Types of Monterey County, California

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile contians classifies bedrock and surficial geologic units into soil profile types delineated in table 16-J of the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC). This layer is part of a collection describing Geology resources and constraints Monterey County, California. The data in this set are intended to provide an approximate value of the UBC site class for planning purposes. Because they were derived from regional scale mapping, they are not appropriate for site-specific use. Rosenberg, Lewis I. (2001). Estimated 1997 Soil Profile Types of Monterey County, California.

  19. Title: Digital Geologic Map of Monterey County, California, 1934-2001

    Contributors:

    Summary: This poygon shapefile contains a geologic model of Monterey County, California. For geologic and seismic hazard evaluation, the most important factor is the geologic model. In this study, the geologic model is a digital compilation of stratigraphic formations and faults in Monterey County. T.W. Dibblee, Jr. mapped most of the geology in Monterey County for the U.S. Geological Survey in the 1960s and 1970s. Other major contributors of mapping include J.C. Tinsley, III, W.R. Dupré, V.M. Seiders, D.C. Ross, J.C. Clark, and C.A. Hall. To provide a logical framework for the many geologic units in Monterey County, T.W. Dibblee, Jr. prepared a countywide correlation of map units, with emphasis on the Tertiary and Cretaceous age sedimentary rocks. Cretaceous plutonic and metamorphic rocks follow the nomenclature of Ross (1972, 1976). Quaternary deposits are classified based on the work of Tinsley and Dupré. This data set presents a unified, seamless geologic coverage for the seventy-nine 1:24,000 scale quadrangles that cover Monterey County. This layer is part of a collection describing Geology resources and constraints Monterey County, California. The purpose of this map is to provide a seamless, regionally consistent geologic database for regional planning studies in Monterey County. Rosenberg, Lewis, I. (2001).
