TYPE OF FAULTING: right-lateral strike-slip; also right-reverse (?)
LENGTH: 60 km (seismically active portion)
NEAREST COMMUNITIES: Always more than 30 km from mainland
MOST RECENT SURFACE RUPTURE: Holocene, in part; otherwise Quaternary
SLIP RATE: unknown
INTERVAL BETWEEN MAJOR RUPTURES: unknown
PROBABLE MAGNITUDES: MW6.5 - 7.3 (?)
OTHER NOTES: This fault zone is probably much longer than the 60-kilometer seismically-active portion, and may in fact extend far to the south, to link up with the San Diego Trough fault zone, making it over 150 kilometers long.
