High Geologic Slip Rates on the San Jacinto Fault Zone in the SW Salton Trough, And Possible Near-Surface Slip Deficit in Sedimentary Basins

New data from the Coyote Creek and Clark strands of the San Jacinto fault zone, SW Salton Trough, indicate average geologic slip rates of ~5 mm/yr and ~10 mm/yr, respectively, and a minimum summed slip rate for the fault zone of ~15 mm/yr during the last 0.5 Ma. Preliminary data further suggest that
