ground surface breakage due to strong shaking mw 6.5 san simeon earthquake of 12/22/03
DESCRIPTION
Ground Surface Breakage Due to Strong Shaking Mw 6.5 San Simeon earthquake of 12/22/03. [note: surface faulting has not been found]. Strong shaking along a ridgeline, approximately 24 km southeast of the epicenter, caused tiles to slip off various roof sections. (Treiman, Manson). - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Cracks and ground settlement due to ridgetop spreading on Black Mountain, approximately 24 km
southeast of the epicenter.(Manson)

Ridgetop spreading has caused earth to pull away from concrete slab foundation of structure; fissures extend
northeast into wooded slope.(Manson)
