Parametric information
Parameter Qual. Evidence
Min Depth (km) 0 LD geomorphic records (several authors)
Max Depth (km) 15 EJ inferred from hypocentral distribution (Kiratzi, 2009)
Strike (deg) 50 - 115 LD various geological/morphotectonic maps
Dip (deg) 45 - 70 EJ from field measurements and geological considerations (see Comments)
