Largest discontinuity along the San Andreas fault

San Gorgonio Pass. Largest discontinuity along the San Andreas fault San Andreas fault slip decreases to a minimum of 5–10 mm/ yr at the SGP, from 24 ± 3.5 mm/ yr at Cajon Pass on the northwest and 12–22 mm/ yr at Indio on the southeast

Presentation Transcript

  1. San Gorgonio Pass • Largest discontinuity along the San Andreas fault • San Andreas fault slip decreases to a minimum of 5–10 mm/yr at the SGP, from 24 ± 3.5 mm/yr at Cajon Pass on the northwest and 12–22 mm/yr at Indio on the southeast • The San Andreas fault curves abruptly southward from its normal southeast trend and butts into the eastward-trending Banning fault at 45

  2. Active and Inactive Faults Traces of active faults are show in red Inactive faults are shown in black Beach-balls show epicenter and oblique slip during earthquakes on the north-dipping San Gorgonio Pass–Garnet Hill fault system at depth Stars show epicenter of earthquakes on faults outside of San Gorgonio Pass

  3. Slip Rate Comparison
