Description: Landsat TM images, subjected to four-component processing through which lithologies can be discriminated by their contrasting absorption and reflection at IR wavelengths, have revealed previously unsuspected strike-slip and normal faults in the central and eastern Mojave Desert. These discriminations, which extend to ferric and ferrous iron and to hydroxyl content without compromise of landform depiction, represent a novel type of geophysical display for geologic mapping in regions of well-exposed bedrock; the faults thus discovered form part of an extensive regional network of right shear which connects Death Valley region faults with those in the San Andreas system.
