1 Largest discontinuity along the San Andreas fault San Andreas fault slip decreases to a minimum of 5–10 mm/yr at the SGP, from 24 ± 3.5 mm/yr at Cajon Pass on the northwest and 12–22 mm/yr at Indio on the southeast The San Andreas fault curves abruptly southward from its normal southeast trend and butts into the eastward- trending Banning fault at 45

2 Traces of active faults are show in red Inactive faults are shown in black Beach-balls show epicenter and oblique slip during earthquakes on the north- dipping San Gorgonio Pass– Garnet Hill fault system at depth Stars show epicenter of earthquakes on faults outside of San Gorgonio Pass
