High rates of creep along parts of the San Andreas fault have been attributed to low fault strength associated with serpentinized rocks. This is problematic because the frictional strength of serpentine minerals is considered too high to account for any

We present a new method to objectively combine paleoseismic event data from multiple sites into rupture scenarios and apply it to the southern San Andreas fault (SSAF) of California. First, a pool is constructed of all ruptures between sites allowed by fault geometry and available event age pro...
The San Andreas Fault is weak compared with the surrounding rock, but the cause of weakness is debated. Measurements of the strength of rocks taken from the active fault indicate that the San Andreas Fault is inherently weak and does not heal after ruptu
PDF Tools Share Abstract Low frequency earthquakes (LFEs) originating below the central San Andreas Fault are associated with slow-slip beneath the seismogenic zone within the more ductile portion of the crust. Monitoring efforts over 15 year...
