Abstract
This earthquake is of special importance for both geologists and engineers because of the unusually large and complex nature of the tectonic surface ruptures, and because of the possibility that ground shaking associated with this relatively small earthquake might have triggered small motions on distant faults. This paper by two U. S. Geological Survey investigators summarizes the effects of the earthquake on terrain and structures, with special emphasis on slope failures, shattered desert crusts, and seismic compaction.
