Hop on the bus and let's go for a field trip!

Everybody has FUN on the bus.

That there is one deep quarry.
The joints in that granite have sure relieved a lot of stress.
Some of the joints turn into faults, says Phil.
The uncomformity between the Aromas Sands and the granitic rocks is SPECTACULARLY exposed in the quarry.
And the San Andreas Fault is never far away.

Hollister sidewalks are very squiggly.
You can practically put a dime on the fault.

From Vista Hill Park, you can see the Calaveras Fault to the North, and the Calaveras Fault to the South. Can you see where the fault cut through the buildings below?
Those rounded cobbles on Vista Hill suggest that a high-energy stream once came through here. But why do the hills remain lined up along the Calaveras Fault?

In San Juan Batista, where frisbees get thrown across plate boundaries, the mission is rising up to the heavens because the fault slip rate is faster to the south than to the north. Because of the differential slip rates, comression occurs between the two segments, which causes the uplift.

Jim talks about coastal processes at Moss Landing Spit, where there are pretty beaches and the Monterey Canyon comes very close to shore.
Tina and Rebecca listen intently.
So sad, the fieldtrip has come to an end.
