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.

The Newport-Inglewood fault has long been considered one of Southern California’s top seismic danger zones because it runs under some of the region’s most densely populated areas, from the...
At 5:55 p.m. on March 10, 1933, a magnitude 6.25 earthquake savaged the towns along the Newport-Inglewood Fault. The worst of the effects were felt in a 15-mile-long corridor through Long Beach, Compton, and Huntington Park.
As of January 12, 2017, the USGS maintains a limited number of metadata fields that characterize the Quaternary faults and folds of the United States. For the most up-to-date information, please refer to the interactive fault map. Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon fault zone, south Los Angeles Basin section (Class A) No. 127b
This zone follows the mapped trace of the Newport-Inglewood Fault with a width of 300m. The NIF is also the location of a number of the oil fields in the Los Angeles Basin, and as a result has been investigated with dense seismic arrays.
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 .
Map of the Newport-Inglewood/Rose Canyon fault zone. A fault system that runs from San Diego to Los Angeles is capable of producing up to magnitude 7.3 earthquakes if the offshore segments rupture and a 7.4 if the southern onshore segment also ruptures, according to an analysis led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of ...
Refining the location of the coastal Newport-Inglewood fault with Structure from Motion photogrammetric models and shallow marine seismic profiling. The Newport-Inglewood fault (NIF) is an active fault with a history of damaging earthquakes that cuts coastal communities in Southern California.
