Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
Description Schematic representation of the SAFOD borehole and pilot hole. The background colors show the structure of the upper crust determined from surface profiling, with blue dots representing and the approximate locations of microearthquakes located by the USGS and UC Berkeley seismology laboratories. The drill site will be located sufficiently far from the San Andreas Fault (as determined by surface fault creep, imaging, and microearthquake locations) to allow for rotary drilling and coring through the entire fault zone starting at a depth of about 3 km and continuing until relatively undisturbed country rock is reached on the far side of the fault. The main SAFOD hole will be drilled at the same surface location as the pilot hole, but offset from the pilot hole by about 20 m.

This geology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “San Andreas Fault SAFOD Project.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This geology image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see {{BadJPEG}}.
