|State=Nevada
|Description=The Central Nevada Scismic Zone is delineated by a narrow, major zone  that is a nearly continous 300-km long rupture zone that extends from Owens Valley, California, north past Dixie Valley, Nevada.  Seismicity indicates that a regional pattern of NW-SE tension exists resulting in crustal extension  caused by the interaction of a westward flow of mantle material beneath the Basin and Range Province with the boundary of the Sierra Nevada batholith. <ref name='Gumper1971'>{{cite web | url=http://bssa.geoscienceworld.org/content/61/5/1413| title=Microseismicity and tectonics of the Nevada Seismic Zone}}</ref>
