The assigned slip rate is based on the amount of slip reported for the last two events (1.3- 1.8 m) and the length of the appropriate time interval (between 11.8-14.5 ka and the present) as reported by Bell and others (2001). These data yield slip rates of 0.09-0.15 mm/yr. The maximum of these rates is assigned for 2002 because neither includes a component of lateral slip that is known to have occurred at least in the historical event. Preferred rake changed on 12/16/2004. |
