San Gregorio - Northern Segment - Earthquake Shaking Scenario (Magnitude 7.2)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
All ground in the Bay Area was not created equal. A critical factor affecting intensity at a site is the geologic material underneath that site. Deep, loose soils tend to amplify and prolong the shaking. The worst such soils in the Bay Area are the loose clays bordering the Bay -- the Bay mud -- and the filled areas. The type of rock that least amplifies the shaking is granite. The remaining materials fall between these two extremes, with the deeper soils in the valleys shaking more than the rocks in the hills. Most of the people in the Bay Area live and work in the valleys. Materials in these valleys tend to amplify the strong ground shaking more than materials on hillsides. Revised and more accurate mapping should lead to better maps modeling past earthquake damage, and therefore the severity of shaking in future earthquakes.Other sections: Spatial_Reference_Information: Entity_and_Attribute_Information: Overview_Description:Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: FIDEntity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: Internal feature number Overview_Description:Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: ShapeEntity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: Feature geometry Overview_Description:Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: valueEntity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: Code for MMI shaking severity level.
