These right-lateral faults may have significantly higher slip rates, and thus greater earthquake hazards, than the normal faults for which the Basin and Range is more commonly known. In the Honey Lake Valley, the fault forms a 50-km-long zone of landforms typical of active strike-slip faults. Right-lateral offset of an incised creek channel is used to estimate a Holocene slip rate of between 1.1 and 2.6 mm/yr. A fault exposure in Holocene alluvium shows evidence for at least four late Holocene surface-faulting earthquakes. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
