Parametric information
Parameter Qual. Evidence
Min Depth (km) 2 EJ Inferred from regional tectonic and geologic considerations and seismic profile
Max Depth (km) 15 EJ Inferred from regional tectonic, geologic and seismological considerations.
Strike (deg) 280 - 330 LD Based on geological and geomorphological data from various authors.
Dip (deg) 30 - 45 LD Based on regional geologic considerations and focal mechanism data.
Rake (deg) 70 - 110 LD Based on seismological and geodetic data from various authors.
Slip Rate (mm/y) 0.2 - 1.4 EJ Inferred from geodynamic data and geological considerations.
Max Magnitude (Mw) 7.2 EJ Derived from the largest known historical earthquake in the area.
Q-keys: LD = Literature Data; OD = Original Data; ER = Empirical Relationship; AR = Analytical Relationship; EJ = Expert Judgement
