- Depth: 11 km
- Number of “did you feel it” reports (USGS DYFI): 9
The blue and white areas of the diagram show the directions of compression and extension during the rupture; the shape indicates the fault type (normal, reverse, or strike-slip). The solution yields two mathematically equivalent fault planes — which one is the actual rupture plane is usually unknown without additional geological context:
| Plane | Strike | Dip | Rake |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 284° | 55° | -91° |
| 2 | 106° | 36° | -88° |
The data is preliminary (status: reviewed) and may be revised by USGS as additional information becomes available.
