Sawtooth segmentation and deformation processes on the southern San Andreas Fault, California

摘要: Five contiguous 12-13 km fault segments form a sawtooth geometry on the south- ernmost San Andreas fault. The kinematic and morphologic properties of each segment depend strike, despite differences strike between as little 3 degrees. Oblique slip (transpression) within Indio Hills, Mecca Hills Durmid Hill results from an inferred 8:1 ratio dex- tral to convergence across zone. Triggered creep are confined almost en- tirely transpressive has been formed in last 28 n 6 ka by uplift at average rate  1 mm/a.
