Lab Prep Assignment: Research and Reading
• In preparation for the next lab period, each student should select an aspect of the 2014 South Napa earthquake for which to do some research seismology, faulting, or damage (signup sheet is being passed around)
• Come to class ready to serve as the “expert” on your select topic for your 3-person team
• READ the short background document that I have e-mailed to you

Napa Earthquake interseismic velocities. Carefully draw the E–W and N–S velocity vectors associated with the three GPS sites shown as green dots in the map below. A negative east component is a vector pointing west, and a negative north component is a vector pointing south. The graphs are scaled in units of millimeters/year. Then draw the total horizontal velocity for each site, and determine the speed (that is, the length of the total horizontal velocity vector) of each site. You can determine the total horizontal velocity by one of the methods shown at right below .
Total horizontal speeds: P198_______________mm/yr; P200_______________mm/yr; SVIN_______________mm/yr

A negative east component is a vector pointing west, and a negative north component is a vector pointing south. The graphs are scaled in millimeter units. Then draw the total horizontal displacement vector for each site, and determine the magnitude of the displacement (that is, the length of the total horizontal displacement vector) of each site, using one of the methods shown at right below.
