Jan 18, 2012 · The San Jacinto Fault (26) splays off the San Andreas at San Bernardino, and the two faults frame the Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains (part of the Peninsular Ranges). Although the San Andreas Fault proper ends along the eastern side of the Salton Sea, the greater San Andreas transform system continues southward.

Jan 1, 2019 · The San Andreas fault system is a 1300-km-long transform boundary that accommodates motion between the North American and Pacific Plates. New technologies and data reveal rich details about the present configuration of faults, distribution of strain, and associated seismic hazard on this complex network of faults.

The San Andreas Fault is a transform fault located in coastal California where plates slip sideways past each other, generating damaging earthquakes due to plate shear. AI generated definition based on: Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology (Third Edition), 2003

Jun 15, 2000 · The 1300 km long San Andreas Fault System is a large transform boundary separating the North America plate from the Pacific plate. In the top 15 to 20 km of the crust, the plate motion takes place in the form of episodic big earthquakes or steady aseismic slipping (creeping) along the San Andreas Fault (SAF) and, in some places, several other ...

May 23, 2016 · The San Andreas fault (SAF) is an approximately 1100-km-long right-lateral strike-slip fault that forms a plate boundary between the Pacific and North American plates along the west coast of the US (Catchings et al., 2002; Fig. 1).

Jun 1, 2021 · The San Andreas Fault (SAF) at Parkfield, California has been taken as a seismic experimental site since the 1970s. The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) shows a ~200-m-wide damage zone with a seismic velocity reduction of ~25–30% within the mature SAF at ~3 km depth. •

Dec 1, 2009 · The south central San Andreas Fault (SAF; Fig. 1) is manifest at the surface by some of the most well preserved tectonic geomorphology at 10s to 1000s of meter scale in the world (Fig. 2; e.g., Wallace, 1975, Wallace and Schulz, 1983, Wallace, 1991).

Sep 15, 2016 · The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) borehole is located near Parkfield, California at the southern end of the central creeping section of the SAF, situated ∼25 km to the northwest of the 2004 M w 6.0 Parkfield earthquake epicenter (Fig. 1).

Jul 19, 2004 · Within the creeping segment south of Hollister, CA, the San Andreas fault is characterized by a zone of low resistivity extending from the San Andreas fault to the Calaveras fault. This zone of low resistivity is imaged on both profiles and in the upper 2–3 km is attributed to fluid filled voids and fractures within the brecciated and damaged ...

Oct 1, 2008 · If the principal San Andreas fault displacement zone is along the Golden Gate fault as suggested by Jachens and Zoback (1999), then a left step back to the North Coast segment of the San Andreas fault also must occur, which is inconsistent with the observed extensional basin in the left-step area. Some reflection profiles show that the Golden ...
