The 6000 km-long cross-section, corrected for and displayed with Earth curvature, traverses the North American continent at ~50 degrees north. From west to east, it crosses the Juan de Fuca ridge and active Cas
Abstract Field observations and analog models show that cross-basin faults play a key role in the evolution of pull-apart basins and dominate the distribution of earthquake rupture in basin areas. We studied the long-term history of large earthquakes on a cross-basin fault to reveal its behavior...
