Santa Cruz Island, Southern California, Geology Field Trip-3 Short Videos https://lnkd.in/geVzct9y An excellent exposure of a reverse fault is on the west side of the entrance to Scorpion Harbor. Fault dips to the south and places Santa Cruz Island Volcanics (SCIV) over the Monterey Formation. Hanging wall of SCIV is moving to the north. Fault is probably associated with active north-south convergence of the western Transverse Ranges. https://lnkd.in/dUrPk2k5 Gully offsets along Santa Cruz Island fault. Small drainages at along lower slopes of the long ridge are bent to the left (west) where they cross the trace of the Santa Cruz Island fault, a left-lateral strike-slip fault. Ridge is underlain by the Santa Cruz Island Volcanic https://lnkd.in/dNhcMiyj Sea-cliff exposure of the Santa Cruz Island fault at north end of Christy Beach, west end of Santa Cruz Island.

The Ring of Fire (also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Rim of Fire, the Girdle of Fire or the Circum-Pacific belt)is a tectonic belt of volcanoes and earthquakes, about 40,000 km (25,000 mi) long[1] and up to about 500 km (310 mi) wide, which surrounds most of the Pacific Ocean. #volcano #earthquake #Reykjanes

It’s amusing that this is effectively a byproduct. Astrophotographers align trackers to the celestial poles in order to be able to take longer exposures of the night sky. The longer they can expose, the more photons the sensor can collect. They also take many images and stack them, in order to increase the signal to noise ratio. Most of the images will have any terrestrial info removed and be composited with an image which has been exposed for the foreground. It is only when these images are put into a timeline as they were shot that you see the effective rotation, the thing that they were actively trying to negate, in order to get the exposures they need. Truly one persons waste is another persons treasure.
