| Notes | At Yaquina Bay, there are marine terraces north and south of the bay. Although these terraces were deposited at the same time, they now have different elevations. This fact implies differential displacement along a fault in Yaquina Bay. The authors report on a study using luminescence dating to help determine what is happening in this area. “Our results confirm that Yaquina Bay has been active during the late Pleistocene, and it also appears that the fault has experienced significant variations in displacement over the last 125 kyrs, and that a significant amount of displacement accrued during a relatively short time period post-106 ka” (p.13, section 6.1, “Faulting at Yaquina Bay”). |
