commercial metropolis OF the Pa
cific coast of the United States Yet
this harbor did not always exist.
according TO report on the Seol-
ogy OF the region recently published
by the United States geological sur
vey. for at one time through the
depression now occupied by the bay
ran a great river that drained the
sacramento and San Joaquin VAL
leys. This river probably flowed
between the T:baron peninsula and
Angel island, and then through the
gorge OF the Golden Gate. where at
present the greatest depth OF water
is more than 400 feet. After the
river valley was formed the coast
sank slowly and the ocean entered
through the Golden Gate. flooded the
valley and formed the present bay
Thus the valley occupied by the bay
is really not so very different from
Santa Clara and Santa Rosa val
ieys, and should the Pacific coast
sink few hundred feet lower those
fertile valleys would form great adj
,ditious to the present bay.

many OF them are much younger

though these rocks are relatively

thousands OF years old and have
been raised out of the sea and tilted

these rocks and have folded and
broken them are still active. yet
their effects are so gradually ac-

they are inappreciable in genera

the movements that resulted in the

that although slight shocks may oc-

generations are serious earthquakes
to be expected.
