Parametric information
Parameter Qual. Evidence
Min Depth (km) 0 LD Fault affects late Quaternary deposits;Geomorphic expression
Max Depth (km) 11.6 EJ Based on average dip, max. seismogenic depth, and width-length ratio <= 1.25
Strike (deg) 321 - 347 LD One-sigma range of strike of mapped surface trace
Dip (deg) 50 - 65 EJ General estimate from mining & seismic-reflection data, & hypocenter of large eq
Rake (deg) 266 - 291 AR Shear direction resolved for evaluated dip and strike range from stress tensor
Slip Rate (mm/y) 0.01 - 0.03 LD Converted from published vertical deformation rate
Max Magnitude (Mw) 6.3 ER Based on length of mapped surface trace
Q-keys: LD = Literature Data; OD = Original Data; ER = Empirical Relationship; AR = Analytical Relationship; EJ = Expert Judgement
