What is the difference between Oak Ridge Fault and Ventura Basin?
Onshore the Oak Ridge Fault forms the south boundary of the Ventura Basin (Yeats, 1983, 1988; Yeats and others, 1988). This fault extends offshore, west of the Ventura Basin, to underlie the low-relief shelf beneath the eastern Santa Barbara Channel (Fisher and others, 2005).
Oct 20, 2000 · The objective of the project is to quantify the amounts, directions, and rates of movements on prominent faults in the region of the offshore Ventura basin, California (Santa Barbara Channel), and the adjoining part of the onshore Ventura basin.
The map area is in the Ventura Basin, in the southern part of the Western Transverse Ranges geologic province, which is north of the California Continental Borderland.
Oct 3, 2021 · The Western Transverse Ranges in southern California are an E-W trending fold-and-thrust system that extends offshore west of Ventura. Using a high-resolution seismic CHIRP dataset, we have identified the Last Glacial Transgressive Surface (LGTS) and two Holocene seismostratigraphic units.
The Ventura basin lies within the east-west– trending active fold-and-thrust belt of the western Transverse Ranges,California. This basin has been the site of significant earth-quakes on structures within it and bordering it.
The Ventura-Pitas Point fault system extends from the onshore Ventura Basin into the offshore Santa Barbara Channel and is considered to be the source of large, M>7.5 paleoearthquakes (Hubbard et al., 2014; Rockwell et al., 2016).
