12 Uplift rates between 0.13 and 0.35 mm/a Nominal Loma Prieta earthquakes every 300-600 years 442 earthquakes to produce the 125,000-year terrace

13 San Gorgonio Pass stepover What are the actual kinematics?

14 The first step in answering this question is to understand the 3-D geometry of the fault system

15 What is happening in the San Bernardino Mountains?
