If you want to make your own kit, try the \u003ca href=\"http://quake.usgs.gov/prepare/future/now/supplies.html\">USGS\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.72hours.org/build_kit.html\">the city and county of San Francisco\u003c/a>, or helpful suggestions from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle/special/quakes/1.1.html\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-disaster17sep17-side,0,2504371.story\">LA Times\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Living in earthquake country, it pays to be vigilant. I applaud the \u003ca href=\"http://1868alliance.org/\">1868 Hayward Earthquake Alliance\u003c/a>, a consortium of agencies that are raising awareness of the risk posed by the Hayward fault with a series of events aimed at educating the public about the importance of preparedness, including a city-wide drill in San Francisco on October 21st, the 140th anniversary of the 1868 Hayward earthquake. We may not be able to predict when exactly the next earthquake on the Hayward fault may occur but we can start planning today to mitigate its effects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But among the shrubs and grasses at Sibley Regional Volcanic Preserve, you'll find the rocky body and layered underpinnings of one of the largest of a handful of volcanoes that once dotted our geologic neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ten million years ago, a vent now called Round Top sprouted in the Earth's crust and regularly spewed thick, gooey lava into its environs. At that time, Round Top stood upright, like a proper volcano, south of present-day San Jose. Over the millennia, the volcano's been ferried northward by the motion of nearby faults, a rugged journey that's changed the appearance of the mountain and the land around it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A few volcanic basics\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/2516284073/\" title=\"1b.

How to make a volcano\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>Volcanoes are formed by a host of geological processes-- in particular, one called subduction. During subduction, one of the earth's plates moves over another, pushing the underlying plate down toward the hotter parts of the earth. These giant slabs of earth are made of a variety of rocks and minerals, some of which melt before others as they sink toward the hot mantle. The melted rock, called magma, is lighter and more buoyant than the rocks around and above it. The magma makes its way upward through the earth's crust, often explosively, creating a volcano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When subduction stops, the fuel that fires a volcano slowly wanes. Here in Northern California, subduction has been slowing in a northward pattern. In other words, volcanic activity stopped first in the southern stretches near Hollister, then near Oakland, then in Sonoma. The area's volcanic rocks get younger and younger as you move northward, until you reach Mt. Lassen, a still active vent that last erupted in 1917.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The story behind Sibley's special volcano\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In its early days, Round Top was just a burbling crater. As it erupted, it filled itself with its own volcanic debris and, in time, lava piling on lava created a peak. With more eruptions, the volcano buried itself under hundreds of feet of lava and volcanic ash. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, nearby faults began to shift. Slices of the earth's crust moved northward, pushing and bumping things up against each other, creating folds and twists in the landscape. Caught in the action, the land under Round Top began to lean eastward, lifting and tilting until the volcano and all its roots were completely pushed over. The softer rocks that were exposed by this process eroded away, leaving behind a volcanic cauldron filled with its own material, its peak pointing to the east, toward the Sierra Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help visualize Round Top's story, imagine the East Bay a bit differently than you usually do: it's no longer a series of neighborhoods comprising Berkeley and Oakland and nearby cities. It's one sprawling, continuous geological story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tale is centered at Round Top, which is situated near the juncture of Skyline and Grizzly Peak boulevards in the Oakland hills. But the story streams out from there, across parts of the East Bay landscape. Each day, thousands of cars pass by one strand of it, a 150-foot-thick lava flow exposed just east of the Caldecott tunnel. Next time you're on that stretch of Highway 24, look up at the road cut. The dark brown diagonal rocks forming the high part of the cliff are made of a hardened volcanic rock called basalt.You're driving by lava that erupted from nearby Round Top ten million years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/2516296191/\" title=\"9a. Welded cinder by kqedquest, on Flickr\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3111/2516296191_a714d06802_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"161\" alt=\"9a. Welded cinder\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>Southeast of the tunnel, the rocks in Sibley park recount a variety of volcanic events. Outcrops of red and brown rocks record the impact of the steaming lava as it first rolled out onto the cooling surface of the earth. Two rows of broken basalts straddle a more fine-grained rock that was once a fluid lava that moved between the two cooling outer layers. And orange-ish blobs hiding in patches of grass are the result of lava fragments that welded together as they were flying from the volcano, a rare formation, and possibly the only example of it that you can see in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all these structures leave us impressed with Round Top's activity in its heyday, what really sets Sibley's volcano apart is that it reveals its inner workings to the public in a way rarely seen. Park visitors get a real geology lesson along with these interesting rock formations. To make matters even more revealing, Kaiser Sand and Gravel quarried the area comprising the park years ago. In doing so, they exposed the heart of the volcano, giving park visitors even more history to gander at. Hike out to the quarries and you'll find a variety of rock types in the remains of the quarry pits: hard basalt that was injected into the volcano, forming lakes inside it, and lighter materials like volcanic ash and mud that have been pushed up from horizontal to vertical.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Geologists love road cuts and quarries\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While digging and blasting the ground might pose some hazards to local biology, such acts can also reveal remarkable aspects of the earth that would otherwise remain hidden. \"Geologists love road cuts and quarries,\" says paleobotanist Steve Edwards, who mapped Round Top's history as part of his doctorate work. \"It's like an outdoor classroom, an incomparable display.\" And Sibley, in particular, presents visitors with rare opportunities. \"There is no other volcano in California whose deep interior is similarly exposed. It's a totally unique site,\" he says. \"It's absolutely incredible that we have this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Get Involved\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Without the help of dedicated volunteers and docents, the East Bay Regional Park District could not offer the public the variety of services and programs that it does. There are many year-round volunteer and docent opportunities for you, your family, or your school or civic group in the Regional Parks.

Over the millennia, the volcano's been ferried northward by the motion of nearby faults, a rugged journey that's changed the appearance of the mountain and the land around it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A few volcanic basics\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/2516284073/\" title=\"1b. How to make a volcano by kqedquest, on Flickr\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2249/2516284073_b277cb0a87_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"161\" alt=\"1b. How to make a volcano\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>Volcanoes are formed by a host of geological processes-- in particular, one called subduction. During subduction, one of the earth's plates moves over another, pushing the underlying plate down toward the hotter parts of the earth. These giant slabs of earth are made of a variety of rocks and minerals, some of which melt before others as they sink toward the hot mantle. The melted rock, called magma, is lighter and more buoyant than the rocks around and above it. The magma makes its way upward through the earth's crust, often explosively, creating a volcano.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When subduction stops, the fuel that fires a volcano slowly wanes. Here in Northern California, subduction has been slowing in a northward pattern. In other words, volcanic activity stopped first in the southern stretches near Hollister, then near Oakland, then in Sonoma. The area's volcanic rocks get younger and younger as you move northward, until you reach Mt. Lassen, a still active vent that last erupted in 1917.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The story behind Sibley's special volcano\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In its early days, Round Top was just a burbling crater. As it erupted, it filled itself with its own volcanic debris and, in time, lava piling on lava created a peak. With more eruptions, the volcano buried itself under hundreds of feet of lava and volcanic ash. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, nearby faults began to shift. Slices of the earth's crust moved northward, pushing and bumping things up against each other, creating folds and twists in the landscape. Caught in the action, the land under Round Top began to lean eastward, lifting and tilting until the volcano and all its roots were completely pushed over. The softer rocks that were exposed by this process eroded away, leaving behind a volcanic cauldron filled with its own material, its peak pointing to the east, toward the Sierra Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help visualize Round Top's story, imagine the East Bay a bit differently than you usually do: it's no longer a series of neighborhoods comprising Berkeley and Oakland and nearby cities. It's one sprawling, continuous geological story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tale is centered at Round Top, which is situated near the juncture of Skyline and Grizzly Peak boulevards in the Oakland hills. But the story streams out from there, across parts of the East Bay landscape. Each day, thousands of cars pass by one strand of it, a 150-foot-thick lava flow exposed just east of the Caldecott tunnel. Next time you're on that stretch of Highway 24, look up at the road cut. The dark brown diagonal rocks forming the high part of the cliff are made of a hardened volcanic rock called basalt.You're driving by lava that erupted from nearby Round Top ten million years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"right\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/kqedquest/2516296191/\" title=\"9a. Welded cinder by kqedquest, on Flickr\">\u003cimg src=\"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3111/2516296191_a714d06802_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"161\" alt=\"9a. Welded cinder\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>Southeast of the tunnel, the rocks in Sibley park recount a variety of volcanic events. Outcrops of red and brown rocks record the impact of the steaming lava as it first rolled out onto the cooling surface of the earth. Two rows of broken basalts straddle a more fine-grained rock that was once a fluid lava that moved between the two cooling outer layers. And orange-ish blobs hiding in patches of grass are the result of lava fragments that welded together as they were flying from the volcano, a rare formation, and possibly the only example of it that you can see in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all these structures leave us impressed with Round Top's activity in its heyday, what really sets Sibley's volcano apart is that it reveals its inner workings to the public in a way rarely seen. Park visitors get a real geology lesson along with these interesting rock formations. To make matters even more revealing, Kaiser Sand and Gravel quarried the area comprising the park years ago. In doing so, they exposed the heart of the volcano, giving park visitors even more history to gander at. Hike out to the quarries and you'll find a variety of rock types in the remains of the quarry pits: hard basalt that was injected into the volcano, forming lakes inside it, and lighter materials like volcanic ash and mud that have been pushed up from horizontal to vertical.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Geologists love road cuts and quarries\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While digging and blasting the ground might pose some hazards to local biology, such acts can also reveal remarkable aspects of the earth that would otherwise remain hidden. \"Geologists love road cuts and quarries,\" says paleobotanist Steve Edwards, who mapped Round Top's history as part of his doctorate work. \"It's like an outdoor classroom, an incomparable display.\" And Sibley, in particular, presents visitors with rare opportunities. \"There is no other volcano in California whose deep interior is similarly exposed. It's a totally unique site,\" he says. \"It's absolutely incredible that we have this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Get Involved\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Without the help of dedicated volunteers and docents, the East Bay Regional Park District could not offer the public the variety of services and programs that it does. There are many year-round volunteer and docent opportunities for you, your family, or your school or civic group in the Regional Parks.

This tiny amphibian spends most of its time living in burrows and holes. But once year, the newts make an epic migration (at least for them) to nearby ponds for mating season. It's incredible to see dozens of these animals making their slow, deliberate pilgrimage through the grass and underbrush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was one of the things we wanted to document when we began our exploration of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebparks.org/parks/briones\" target=\"_blank\">Briones Regional Park\u003c/a>, just east of Berkeley.
