The Santa Barbara-Montecito and Goleta basins are structurally
continuous fault-controlled Pleistocene basins containing
up to 3000 feet (925 m) of marine Pleistocene Santa Barbara Formation
which were deposited on previously deformed Sisquoc and older
strata. Structures subcropping against the unconformity at the
base of the Santa Barbara Formation show that...
The literature asserts that both the medical and educational
