Parametric information
Parameter Qual. Evidence
Min Depth (km) 0 LD Based on 3-D seismic surveys and instrumental seismicity data (various authors)
Max Depth (km) 12 LD Based on 3-D seismic surveys and instrumental seismicity data (various authors)
Strike (deg) 210 - 230 LD Based on 3-D seismic surveys, geological and geomorphological maps and data
Dip (deg) 60 - 90 LD Based on 3-D seismic surveys and instrumental seismicity data (various authors)
Rake (deg) 340 - 360 EJ Assumed from regional geodynamic and GPS data
Slip Rate (mm/y) 1 - 2 LD Based on GPS, geodetic data and Quaternary geology
Max Magnitude (Mw) 6.9 LD Based on the maximum rupture area (Beidinger et al., 2009; Decker et al., 2009)
Q-keys: LD = Literature Data; OD = Original Data; ER = Empirical Relationship; AR = Analytical Relationship; EJ = Expert Judgement
