	Santa Rita Fault (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		For instance, the northern end of the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson is flanked by fault scarps caused by large-magnitude (M ~6.7-7.6) earthquakes, and the strongest historical earthquake in the region, which occurred in 1887 with an estimated magnitude of about 7.2, rejuvenated the Pitaycachi fault scarp south of Agua Prieta, Mexico.
		The Santa Rita fault is in an upper-plate position with respect to the mylonitic rocks of the Catalina-Rincon metamorphic core complex.
		Consequently, the Santa Rita fault either 1) soles into the Catalina detachment fault and reactivates part of it at depth; 2) cuts the Catalina detachment fault and represents essentially unrelated later extension; or 3) may be at least partly coeval with the Catalina detachment fault and, thus, could be an upper-plate excisement or incisement fault.

	Santa Rita Fault (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		These disparate observations are often reconciled by arguments that low-angle faults move aseismically or rotate to low angles from initial high angles.
		Industry seismic reflection data, acquired in the 1970s and reprocessed at the University of Arizona, cross the trend of a late Quaternary fault scarp near the northern end of the Santa Rita Mountains.
		The seismic reflection data clearly image a low-angle (~15-20°) fault-plane reflection that can be traced from a depth of at least 6 km to very near the surface.

	OVERVIEW (cont) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		To understand a complex geologic system, such as all or part of a watershed, and involve three dimensions, a number of research tools must be employed and the information integrated.
		In the case of the Upper Santa Cruz River Watershed, examining the surface provides information on mineralogic variability, and hence, potential chemical contributions to fluids.
		The intent is to provide subsurface geologic information, particularly with regard to distribution of subsurface fractures and faults, and to better understand the structure of the sedimentary basins.
