The Laguna Salada Fault is a probable southern continuation of the Elsinore Fault Zone in Southern California. [4] These faults are considered to be secondary cohorts of the San Andreas Fault, and as such share some of the strike-slip motion between the North American plate and the Pacific plate.
The Laguna Salada Fault shows combined normal (down to the southwest) and dextral (right-lateral) movement. Prior to 2010 it showed evidence of recent (probably historical) displacement with a 22 km (14 mi) zone of surface faulting, and 3–4 m (9.8–13.1 ft) of vertical displacement.
The lake itself is located on the bottom of a shallow depression, a graben, which is linked to the San Andreas Fault, and the East Pacific Rise as part of the Laguna Salada Fault. This fault is connected to the Salton Trough fault which holds a similar depression, the Salton Sink. This sink is bigger than Laguna Salada and contains the Salton ...
The active Laguna Salada Fault ruptured in February 1892 with an estimated M w 7.2 earthquake. [7] [8] By the distribution of aftershocks and using radar interferometry, the main shock rupture was found to have occurred on a previously unmapped fault in the Cucapah Mountains and beneath the Colorado River Delta.
The fault runs from the mountainous Peninsular Ranges region between El Centro and San Diego, northwest to the Chino Hills range and Chino Hills.On the southern end of the fault zone is the southeastern extension of the Elsinore fault zone, the Laguna Salada Fault.
A video released as part of an ongoing lawsuit against Southern California Edison, the electrical utility for Los Angeles, appears to show what a law firm says is the start of the deadly Eaton Fire.
The Brawley Seismic Zone represents the northernmost extension of the spreading center axis associated with the East Pacific Rise which runs up the axis of the Gulf of California and is in the process of rifting the Baja California peninsula away from the mainland of Mexico, with significant subsidence taking place at southern California's Salton Sea and at Laguna Salada in Baja California.
