The Chino Fault and Whittier Fault are the two upper branches of the Elsinore Fault Zone, [2] which is part of the trilateral split of the San Andreas Fault system. The right-lateral strike-slip fault has a slip rate of 1.0 millimeter/year and is capable of producing anywhere from a M w 6.0 to a M w 7.0 earthquake.
