Parametric information
Parameter Qual. Evidence
Min Depth (km) 1.5 EJ Inferred from regional geologic considerations and earthquake data.
Max Depth (km) 12 EJ Inferred from geological observations and earthquake data.
Strike (deg) 320 - 350 LD Based on geologic and structural data.
Dip (deg) 30 - 45 LD Based on seismic profile (Busetti et al., 2010), regional geologic and structura
