@SnowVixen89 in this heat? how about a slurpee?

Lol I went through a few times once in '89 to visit my family in San Jose and a few other time it's kind of erie in away.

According to the Oxford Dictionary of Earth Sciences a Pressure Ridge is:
"A curved, elongated ridge on the surface of a basaltic lava flow, formed at right angles to the flow direction".
Answer me this - why is there basaltic lava, normally associated with a mid-ocean ridge or a rift valley, on a right-lateral strike-slip fault like the SAF?
It sure looks like a fold to me. Am I wrong? Any seismologists out there to help with this.
Methinks the video title is a little deceptive.

Sooo cool!

thats because us that live in palmdale are beasts!!!

Palmdale Ca!

I almost fell in that damn fault in a cave in San Diego. If it wern't for a piece of rock for me to grab quickly, I would've been a goner.
-
I want to bury myself in the fault for a little while. It is so awsome!

check out cajon pass on google earth, look for oakie flat road. its a trail that takes you a couple miles into the SAFZ.

thats not actually the fault, it is at the base of that ridge at ave S and the 14.

Correct. This is a pressure ridge. The "fault" itself is a zone of fault lines, not one in particular.

I prefer to think of it as a wide grinding zone full of gouge, with several ruptures that happen during and earthquake. A good place to see the width of the fault is at cajon pass above the 15.

Cool, I'll check out the view at Cajon, too. thanks.
