Geological and Geochemical Analysis

Fault scarps of at least three ages are found on the eastern side of Pleasant Valley, Nevada. Of these, the most recent were formed in 1915, when a displacement occurred along the western base of the Sonoma Range. Two fault blocks rose relative to the adjacent valley, producing low scarps at the foot of the mountains. The movement was a dip-slip displacement on normal faults which trend north and northeast.
