Several contrasting patterns of long-term behavior can be recognized among the numerous major faults in southern California that are known to be currently active on the basis of geologic, geodetic, and seismologic data. Past large-scale displacements represent cumulative slip along some of the ...
The California desert near the connecting fault segment. Credit: Oleg/IMG_6747_8_9_tonemapped A multiyear study has uncovered evidence that a 21-mile-long (34-kilometer-long) section of a fault links known, longer faults in Southern California and northern Mexico into a much longer continuous ...

southern California faultsLanders earthquake28 June 1992slipTHE magnitude 7.5 Landers earthquake of 28 June 1992 was the largest earthquake to strike California in 40 years. The slip that occurs in such an earthquake would be expected to induce large changes in the static stress on neighbouring ...

"Earth is lazy" approach to modeling fault development in the crust that is providing new insights into how faults grow. In particular, they study irregularities along strike-slip faults, the active zones where plates slip past each other such as at the San Andreas Fault of southern California...
New insights on stress rotations from a forward regional model of the San Andreas fault system near its Big Bend in southern California [1] Understanding the stress field surrounding and driving active fault systems is an important component of mechanistic seismic hazard assessment. We deve... DD...
