The San Jacinto Fault Zone and the San Andreas Fault (SAF) accommodate up to 80% of the slip rate between the North American and Pacific plates.The extreme southern portion of the SAF has experienced two moderate events in historical times, while the SJFZ is one of California's most active fault zones and has repeatedly produced both moderate and large events.
South of this tectonic block, they join together, and this forms the San Diego Trough Fault Zone. [7] The next segment of fault runs narrow and straight for a distance of 100–150 km (62–93 mi) while roughly parallel to the coast. [7] The fault zone continues south before merging with the Bahía Soledad fault off the coast of Baja California ...
These lines allow tectonic plates to move and earthquakes occur when two plates slide past each other. The Ramapo Fault System is the longest in the northeastern U.S., stretching from Pennsylvania ...
The New Madrid seismic zone (NMSZ), sometimes called the New Madrid fault line (or fault zone or fault system), is a major seismic zone and a prolific source of intraplate earthquakes (earthquakes within a tectonic plate) in the Southern and Midwestern United States, stretching to the southwest from New Madrid, Missouri.
The Newport–Inglewood-Rose Canyon Fault Zone. The Newport–Inglewood Fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault [1] in Southern California.The fault extends for 47 mi (76 km) [1] (110 miles if the Rose Canyon segment is included) from Culver City southeast through Inglewood and other coastal communities to Newport Beach at which point the fault extends east-southeast into the Pacific Ocean.
