Fig. 2: Seismicity distribution along the CSAF.
From: 3D architecture and complex behavior along the simple central San Andreas fault
a Map view and b cross-section view of relocated earthquakes from 1984 to 2015 (Waldhauser and Schaff24, extended to later years) along the central San Andreas Fault. Events in the box XX’ are colored by faulting style. Small beach balls denote \({M}_{l}\ge 4.0\) earthquakes. Large beach balls denote the 2003 \({M}_{w}\)6.5 San Simeon and 2004 \({M}_{w}\)6.0 Parkfield earthquakes’ focal mechanisms. White stars denote historic major earthquakes. Note vertical exaggeration VE = 3.13 in (b). The local coordinate system has its origin at latitude 35.867°N, longitude 120.447°W and is oriented N42°W.
