Geologic Framework of the San Bernardino BasinThe San Bernardino Basin is the alluviated lowland that extends northwestward from Yucaipa to the Devore area at the foot of Cajon Pass. It is bounded by the San Andreas fault on the north and the San Jacinto Fault and Rialto-Colton ground-water barrier on the southwest. Current geologic understanding suggests that the lowland is a pull-apart basin that developed over the last 1.7 million years in response to a right step between the San Jacinto and San Andreas faults. This right step still is taking place today, and provides the background for current earthquake activity in the San Bernardino region. Sedimentary materials that are filling up this basin record information about interactions among the various fault systems, including their origin and movement history. The sediments also store ground water for the urbanizing San Bernardino-Fontana-Redlands-Yucaipa region.
