| The slip rate used in 1996 was based on dePolo (1996, written commun.). The slip rate used here is from dePolo (1998) and dePolo and Anderson (2000) and is based on observed offset of 43.4 m and inferred age of an offset deposit of 200 ka. The characteristic magnitude for this fault is fixed at M7.5 even though the length of the fault would permit a larger earthquake. |
