Now Some Implications of Deformation Models & Seismicity Observations…
Moment Rates (10 19 Nm/yr) 1.Include creep-based moment-rate reductions (default = 0.1). 2.57% of Geologic on-fault increase (0.31) is from: Cerro Prieto (0.077 Nm/yr); Mendocino (0.054 Nm/yr); and Brawley (Seismic Zone) alt 1 (0.049 Nm/yr). 3.On-fault moment rate change for the same faults as used in the UCERF2 model. 4.UCERF2 value includes both “C-Zones (aseismic)” and “Non-CA Faults” (treated as off fault here). 5.Relative to the UCERF2 total value of 2.37 Nm/yr, which includes contributions from “C-Zones (aseismic)”. 6.Assuming a truncated GR distribution with 8.7 M 5 events per year (Appendix L) and a b-value of 1.0 Increase on faults comes from addition of new faults; old faults came down a bit 57% of new fault increase is from three of the new faults. Increase on faults comes from addition of new faults; old faults came down a bit 57% of new fault increase is from three of the new faults.
