Parametric information
Parameter Qual. Evidence
Min Depth (km) 3 OD Based on structural geology and geodynamic constraints.
Max Depth (km) 9 OD Based on structural geology and geodynamic constraints.
Strike (deg) 150 - 170 OD Based on geological constraints and seismic reflection profiles.
Dip (deg) 30 - 50 OD Based on geological constrains and seismic reflection profiles.
Rake (deg) 80 - 100 EJ Inferred from geological data.
Slip Rate (mm/y) 0.1 - 0.5 EJ Unknown, values assumed from geodynamic constraints.
Max Magnitude (Mw) 5.9 OD Derived from maximum magnitude of associated individual source(s).
Q-keys: LD = Literature Data; OD = Original Data; ER = Empirical Relationship; AR = Analytical Relationship; EJ = Expert Judgement
