INTRODUCTION
On October 17, 1989, at 5:04:15 p.m. (P.d.t.), a magnitude
6.9 (moment magnitude; surface-wave magnitude, 7.1)
earthquake severely shook the San Francisco and Monterey Bay
regions. The epicenter was located at 37.04 degrees N.
latitude, 121.88 degrees W. longitude near Loma Prieta peak
in the Santa Cruz Mountains, approximately 14 km (9 mi)
northeast of Santa Cruz and 96 km (60 mi) south-southeast of
San Francisco. The earthquake occurred when the crustal
rocks comprising the Pacific and North American Plates
abruptly slipped as much as 2 meters (7 ft) along their
common boundary-the San Andreas fault system. The rupture
initiated at a depth of 18 km (11 mi) and extended 35 km (22
mi) along the fault, but it did not break the surface of the
Earth .

ABOUT THE LOMA PRIETA EARTHQUAKE CD-ROM
This CD-ROM contains 103 digitized color 35-mm images from
Open-File Report 90-547 (Nakata and others, 1990). Our
photographic coverage reflects the time and resources
available immediately after the event and is not intended to
portray the full extent of earthquake damage. This CD-ROM
provides images for use by the interested public, multimedia
producers, desktop publishers, and the high-end printing
industry. The digital images are stored in the "photocd"
folder and can be read across Macintosh, Windows, DOS, OS/2,
SGI, and UNIX platforms which applications that can read
Kodak's Photo-CD (YCC) file format. Up-to-date information
about Photo CD is on the World Wide Web at
http://www.kodak.com/go/photocd. Also included on this CD-
ROM are Windows and Macintosh viewers and engines for keyword
or geographic searches (Adobe Acrobat Reader with Search).
At the time of this publication, Kodak's policy on the
distribution of color-management files is still unresolved,
and so none is included on this CD. However, using the
Universal Ektachrome or Universal Kodachrome transforms found
in your software will provide excellent color.
Feel free to use any of these images but please cite the
photographer and the U.S. Geological Survey.
