Zion NP's Checkerboard Mesa is an enlarged mound, where its Terraces and Polygons may be seen from the hiway; it has rotated and reversed, as shown by its pinched out terraces showing the direction of movement, relative to its surroundings- which have been eroded away, and has created comparisons of the Mesa as it is hardened and compressed with its rotations.
Note that acceleration= dV/dt, or change of Velocity with Time; jerk is da/dt, Chatter is dj/dt, some of these being Trigonometric functions, where sine waves dominate:
Rotation of outcrops alongside the Virgin River has created Slickensides in mathematical patterns- which allows these dated surrounding basalt flows' ages to calculate Rates of movement:
Surrounding Pleistocene basalt flows (at least 3) show the environment of the incising Virgin River:
Golf courses allow Mima Mounds to be seen clearly- since the courses are kept mowed:
Changing angle of tree trunks allow the timed measurements for uplift of the mounds in un-mowed growth to calculate rates for this Pleistocene Whidbey Island:
Although Milankovitch mathematically calculated his orbital variations for the Earth's Atmosphere, I find that the orbits are scribed on the Land above sealevel, as well:
T ilt of the Earth from the Ecliptic:
Although the oceans absorb our Moon's energy via Tides, the Pacific Ocean's seafloor show Transform Faults: 40.439N Latitude at Mendocino, California's Cape or jut:
Kaibab uplift north of the Grand Canyon shows its arcuate geometry in green:
Close inspection shows many Mima Mounds seen from I-5 freeway near the Willamette River, Oregon:
Pacific spacing of major transforms are shown in the Eastern Pacific to Hawaii's Maui and Midway Island:
Mendocino Cape or jut at 40.439N latitude is the main N. America reference N. and South:
Above Mendocino Transform is 45 latitude degrees North of the Talara, Peru, S. America jut at 4.561S- forming a Right Triangle RT with the Transform; S. America moves at a different lower rate than the North, and this relation is working to the west along the Transform. Below is the second reference:
Enlarged and Time-calculated from the Arc (not very accurate below):
Fractures develop from cracks during the Full Moon opposition to our Sun, and I will try to find a way of seeing them; below is a large AZ Fracture- such as also occurs at the great African Rift:
Santa Clara, Utah has an arcuate cliff Earth Tides "creeping" rather than jerking, as shown in the following Major Presentation: BLUE CLAY of the Triassic Chinle:
Color of the Blue Clay is seen in above outcrop.
Triassic volcanic ash has weathered to "Blue clay" which creeps due to its low viscosity, rather than with brittle earthquake.usgs.gov at the cliff (scarp) base:
Ground surface (top of the Crust) buckles under shove from the west (Reverse Tides)- Compression:
Buckling above occurs across the photo! Lot owner placed concrete Columns to stop the creep, but they are now exposed- showing the East to West TILT progression:
Returning on January 28/2019, the lef t6 concrete posts have fallen to the ground- showing that Earth Tides have moved about 1 meter in 4 years, at a Rate of 25 cm/year. Cases for N.America have had about 20 mm/year, or a tenth of that at Santa Clara! This could be explained by stresses not being relieved by jerking earthquake.usgs.gov but by creeping faster- relieving stress continually. What is happening via Vibration is occurring faster at the top layer of the Crust. Vibration is continual, and jerks do not relieve it; what is the Frequency or period of normal Earth vibration? Searching. Einstein says "All i vibration", and we are now in the realm of Quantum Mechanics.
Fractures trace N-South, perpendiculat to the west shove:
Magnified view of Scarp with lower tilting concrete columns:
Chapel Street, Santa Clara is the NE edge of the rapidly-moving Earth Tides, and to the NE of this street there is much less movement:
Centerline divider above with obvious fractures to the West-left has been asphalt-coated, and the evidence is covered as of Januaru 2019.
Santa Clara Scarp has the Triassic TrChinle at the base, as seen by the color:Fractures seen above allow a spring to perpetually drain below:
Santa Clara Creek is the divider of the creeping Arc and across the creek, the Brown hills- making an analemma for the duo (see circular subtle hilltop):
Santa Clara- South of the River- Brown Hills trapezoid:
Santa Clara arc (cove) Triassic sedimentary column:
Previous Santa Clara asphalt road and concrete curb has been broken to reveal the Buckling Compression:
Review all of the above- which is the best Example of Earth Tides
"creeping"exposed in Man's lifetime Scale!
Big Picture of the Mesozoic surroundings shows how the little cove Arc fits from across the River:
Santa Clara anomaly must be focused by the Scarp above- which is speculated to rotate about the River. Why does it fid this particular cove, or did the rotation process focus on this fault?
The Focus is probably at the river, and it may be in the above view. Below is the Arcuate Wave- which may point to the Focus:
Viewing from an oblique-angled GE position shows the Focus at the intersection of lines:
Microcracks develop with the Full Moon, and these become Fractures later- shown by diagram:
Fractures become Transform faults- when viewed on a regional scale- such as Mendocino:
Geologists use Fissures for my Fractures, and below are some above the Virgin River above Hurricane, on the Colorado Plateau near Virgin town:
Note above. that many fractures are Orthogonal (right angles to) main N.-South ones.
Below is a broad view, above the Virgin River (North up):
Fractures developing at Hf thrusting- into the scarp:
NEXT View of Geometrical features has the Washington City trail collapse alongside the Virgin River:
The Virgin River is a divider (low point) of the Hogback above and the Hurricane Valley flatlands, below; part of a Polygon, and the anticline in St. George at the dam turns 45 degrees:
Big view of the Virgin River west of Sand Hollow Lake:
Impending trail collapse as boulders fall onto the asphalted path:
House which first began to receive Mud from the Blue Clay Earth Tides (later bought and demolished by the city) has been replaced with a concrete bulwark:
Eroded wall is like a scarp, and its steep wall iseasily eroded during the Full Moon's microcracks:
Given sufficient time, slickensides form with the gradual movement:
Virgin and Santa Clara confluence is anomalous, in that friction develops whenever 2 Rivers have different rotation rates- producing Heat:
Microcracks are assumed to develop with the Full Moon attraction (opposition to the Sun), and I tried to see the subsurface created by ants feverishly working during the phases of the Moon. Below is the ellipse made during the New Moon- part of the Figure 8 two weeks later. This needs work on solid rock, rather than loose sand:
April 2012 New Moon pattern of anthills:
2. Grapevine wash- with springs along the way- leads to the WA trail (it's perpendicular);
3. Erosion of the banks (edges) follows fractures, which are enlarged after the Full Moon:
4. Collapse is continuing- particularly at sharp bends (inflections) in the Virgin River: and a
5. Dam occurs where the Milankovic cycles create a 45 degree turn in the river.
6. Microcracks are not yet proven, and you may leave a suggestion for those in solid rock.
No matter how old you are, family history is important. While you might not think so at the time, as you get older there will be things you and your grandchildren will want to know. Most of us don't realise it until the older generations are gone and you can't replace first hand comments. Don't just put in about the good times, add in the harder times and how you overcame those trials. Another thing to remember is what caused the deaths of those you loved. There are many things that have been found to continue into future generations that knowing it runs in the family can be helped with now or possible in the future. prevention starts with knowing where to start. I wish someone had taken the time to write these things down for mew to be able to go back to. My Grandmother and my mother told us many stories of what things happened in their lives and about the people in their lives. I now wish someone had written those things down since both have passed now. But I never thought at that busy point in my life that I would one day want to remember all those things. So much family history is lost when the older generations are gone. Please pass it on to your family while you can. You can even just do it digitally so it can be accessed by family later on.Family pictures are something to cherish also. Just be sure to write down who is pictured in them, where they are taken and when. I have found family pictures that no one now even knows who is in them.
