Guatemala Earthquake 1976. South along a secondary fault of the Mixco zone that intersects an excavation for a sedimentation basin in Guatemala City's new water treatment plant. The fault, which dips 60 degrees west (to the right) is visible in the wall of the excavation in the background and was exposed in the line of pits in the floor of the excavation. Soil horizons in the Pleistocene tephra in the wall of the excavation are offset at least 7 meters, indicating repeated movement on this same strand during late Quaternary time. Because of the faulting, the design of the settling basin had to be changed to avoid the fault trace. Available information suggests that at least part of the 5 centimeters displacement...

The Digital Chart of the World (DCW) is an Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) product originally developed for the US Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) using DMA data. The DCW 1993 version at 1:1,000,000 scale was used. The DMA data sources are aeronautical charts, which emphasize landmarks important from flying altitudes. This explains why there is a separate aeronautical theme with all conceivable airports, yet why on some themes small islands and lakes are simply unnamed points. ESRI, in compiling the DCW, also eliminated some detail and made some assumptions for handling tiny polygons and edgematching. Also, note that the completeness of the thematic categories present in each layer will vary....

Album caption: Map showing the relation of segments of the Motagua and Mixco faults that moved during the earthquake of February 4, 1976 (in red) to the main shock epicenter, the larger aftershock epicenters, and major structural and volcanic features in northern Central America. Circled numbers along the Motagua fault indicate selected measured sinistral displacements in centimeters. The green lines in the western part of the map area are lineaments, some of which may have undergone minor fault displacement during the earthquake. Guatemala Earthquake 1976. Figures drafted by Susan Hunt. Photo by G. Plafker. Published as slide 1 in the U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 77-165. No index card.

This dataset includes a modified subset of polygon features that describe U.S. Geological Survey's defined geologic provinces of the World. Each province has a set of geologic characteristics that distinguish it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include dominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and/or structural type. Each province is assigned a unique numeric code and may fall within two or more countries or assessment regions.

Album caption: Topographic survey party in an Indian's milpa (cornfield). 1. Carlos Oliver, rodman from Belize. 2. Emitario Penardes and 3. Pablo Obando. Both are brushcutters from Flores. The native on the left is planting corn the same way that his ancestors did 1000 years B.C. The gourd attached to his waist holds the corn to be planted in a hole in the ground. The Indian to the right is also planting corn. While on the survey of this area we would camp with these individuals and eat their food which sometimes consisted of monkey, turkey or deer.
