Abstract

Data from a network of six strainmeters in southern Nevada were analyzed to determine how much of the observed strain at each station was common to the entire region. Using a least-square technique, a regional strain field was detected in data covering a two-month time interval. Several changes in the field occurred, one of which, beginning on January 18, 1971, appeared to be a major change in the rate of strain accumulation. The regional field grows and decays, with maximum variation of 10 over the two months studied. The principal axes show northwest extension, and their directions remain fixed as the magnitude of the field varies.
