Water and the arid zone of the United States
In a pluvial period associated with Wisconsin glaciation the closed basin of the Estancia Valley in New Mexico held a lake which, at its maximum extent, was 150 feet deep and had a surface area of 450 square miles. This basin, with a mean elevation of about 6,000 feet, has at present an annual precipitation of about 14 inches.Estimates have been made of the Pleistocene precipitation necessary to m

Paper A: Terrestrial features of impact origin
Craters made by meteorites striking the earth are discussed, with attention given to geological evidence for discriminating them from craters formed by other structural processes. The major known meteorite craters are briefly described, as well as other features that are considered probable or possible meteorite craters on the basis of less conclusive evidence. Separate tabulations are given of (1

The petroleum potential of the emerged and submerged Atlantic coastal plain of the United States
Increasing geological and geophysical information about the Atlantic continental shelf of the United States is changing the basis for judging the area's petroleum potential. No nation can afford to overlook an area that overlies 175,000 cubic miles (730,000 km3) of possibly petroliferous sediments (including the emerged coastal plain), though the first barrel of oil is yet to be produced. Seismic
