Star Lily (Zigadenus fremontii) at Sage Ranch. This species appears to be a "fire follower." In recent weeks it has been very common in some parts of the Topanga Fire area.

Santa Monica Fault. TYPE OF FAULTING: left-reverse. LENGTH: 24 km

Regional neotectonic map for metropolitan southern California showing major active faults. The Santa Monica fault is a 40-km-long active fault within the 215-km-long Transverse Ranges Southern Boundary fault system (TRSBFS), which encompasses the Raymond,Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu Coast, Anacapa-Dume, Santa Cruz Island, and Santa Rosa Island faults as well as several blind thrust faults. Fault locations are from Ziony and Jones (1989), Vedder et al. (1986), Dolan and Sieh (1992), Sorlien (1994), and Dolan et al. (1997). Santa Rosa Island fault is off figure to west. Closed teeth denote reverse fault surface trace; open teeth on dashed lines show upper edge of blind thrust fault ramps. Strike-slip fault surface traces are shown by double arrows.

Point Dume is at west end of Santa Monica fault. Downtown Hollywood is centered between Hol and Flt in figure. Dark shading shows Santa Monica Mountains

Tectonic geomorphologic map of the Santa Monica fault zone and environs based on interpretation of 1926 vintage U.S.Geological Survey 6 ft topographic maps (Sawtelle, Topanga Canyon, and Hollywood quadrangles) and field mapping.

North-northwest2trending cross section showing active (northern) and inactive (southern) strands of the Santa Monica fault zone and associated structures in the vicinity of our trench site (location shown in Fig. 2). Modified from Tsutsumi et al. (2000) on the basis of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles across the upper 200 m of the active strand of the fault (Dolan and Pratt, 1997; Pratt et al., 1998). Data from Dolan and Pratt (1997) and Pratt et al. (1998) are shown projected 400 m eastward onto main cross- section line. Thin, subvertical lines are petroleum wells showing dip-meter data Tsutsumi et al., 2000). L�lower; M�middle; U�upper;SMF�Santa Monica fault; S strand�southern strand; N strand�northern strand.

Map of active surficial faults along the Malibu Coast. Note differing locations for offshore Santa Monica fault shown by Junger and Wagner (1977) and Vedder et al. (1986), as well as 10-m-high, south-facing submarine scarp south of Malibu. Thick lines denote faults discussed in the text. Thinner lines show other faults that exhibit either Holocene or Pleistocene activity. Stipple denotes submarine canyons. Data are compiled from Junger and Wagner (1977) and Vedder et al. (1986).

The Malibu Coast Fault is a regional fault system that extends about 125 miles (200 km).Malibu Coast Fault. TYPE OF FAULT: reverse. LENGTH: 34 km; has several parallel strands.
