Parametric information
Parameter Qual. Evidence
Min Depth (km) 0 LD geomorphic records (Mountrakis et al., 2006)
Max Depth (km) 15 EJ inferred from seismogenic layer thickness of nearby areas
Strike (deg) 80 - 135 LD geological/morphotectonic maps (Mountrakis et al., 2006)
Dip (deg) 40 - 65 LD inferred from field descriptions (Mountrakis et al., 2006)
Rake (deg) 265 - 280 LD kinematic indicators (Mountrakis et al., 2006)
Slip Rate (mm/y) 0.2 - 0.4 AR calculated from geodetic strain rate fields (various authors)
Max Magnitude (Mw) 7 ER calculated from the empirical relationships of Wells and Coppersmith (1994)
Q-keys: LD = Literature Data; OD = Original Data; ER = Empirical Relationship; AR = Analytical Relationship; EJ = Expert Judgement
