Comments |
The assigned slip rate is based on the highest probability (0.4) slip rate (0.1 mm/yr) estimated by Geomatrix Consultants, Inc. (1995). The characteristic magnitude for this fault is fixed at M7.5 even though the length of the fault would permit a larger earthquake. Dip of fault changed to 50? based on redefined regional default value (Lund, 2006). |
