dc.description.abstractI present an alternative approach to determine the magnitude and direction of extension in the Basin and Range Province at the north end of Summer Lake basin using GIS techniques. Offset across 161 faults and tilting of 56 fault blocks were estimated to calculate extension as a function of azimuth in this area. The orientation of a representative set of slickenlines was collected in the field to assign average values for the GIS analysis. Azimuthal variation of extension is consistent with a strain ellipse indicating plane strain with extension of 1.5 to 5.5 percent along the maximum extension direction of N75E and no extension along the minimum N15W axis. Blocks tilt on average 60° from the maximum extension direction, suggesting the underlying detachment dips -N15E. This technique allows strain associated with the numerous small faults to be added to the sparse large faults for a complete regional analysis.en_US
