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.
The Walker Lane takes up 15 to 25 percent of the boundary motion between the Pacific plate and the North American plate, the other 75 percent being taken up by the San Andreas Fault system to the west. [4] [5] The Walker Lane may represent an incipient major transform fault zone which could replace the San Andreas as the plate boundary in the ...
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.
Southern California lies along a transform boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate. Faulting is taken up by three main groups of faults: the San Andreas Fault and linked faults, the eastern California shear zone (ECSZ), and the California Continental Borderland (CCB). The San Andreas system and the ECSZ take up around 85 ...
A map by the California Geological Survey shows faults near the Lake Almanor area in Plumas County, where a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck Thursday, May 11, 2023, followed by a magnitude 5.2 ...
Passing through Happy Camp, SR 96 enters the Klamath National Forest. After passing through Gottsville, the route exits the national forest. It intersects State Route 263, which heads south toward Yreka. SR 96 then turns north. Passing the Randolf Collier Safety Roadside Rest Area, the route meets its terminus at Interstate 5. [3]
The Elsinore Fault Zone is a large right-lateral strike-slip geological fault structure in Southern California. The fault is part of the trilateral split of the San Andreas Fault system and is one of the largest, though quietest faults in Southern California.
The San Andreas Fault system and the eastern California shear zone accommodate approximately 85% of the predominately strike-slip deformation. [1] The rest of the plate motion is taken up by the California Continental Borderlands, which itself is broken up into two parts: the Outer Continental Borderlands and the Inner Continental Borderlands ...
