Parametric information
Parameter Qual. Evidence
Min Depth (km) 3 LD Based on instrumental seismicity data.
Max Depth (km) 10 LD Based on instrumental seismicity data.
Strike (deg) 250 - 270 OD Based on regional geological data.
Dip (deg) 25 - 35 EJ Inferred from regional geological data.
Rake (deg) 80 - 100 EJ Inferred from regional geological data.
Slip Rate (mm/y) 0.1 - 0.5 EJ Unknown, values assumed from geodynamic constraints.
Max Magnitude (Mw) 6.3 OD Derived from maximum magnitude of associated individual source(s).
Q-keys: LD = Literature Data; OD = Original Data; ER = Empirical Relationship; AR = Analytical Relationship; EJ = Expert Judgement
