The Lomax (2005) “preferred” mainshock location has a large uncertainty volume (pdf), but is consistent with the association of initial rupture of the 1906 earthquake with an extensional right-bend (e.g. Lawson, 1908) or stepover (e.g. Zoback et al., 1999) in the submerged San Andreas Fault (SAF) system offshore of the Golden Gate. <br /><br /><br />Since the observed surface rupture for the 1906 earthquake occurred along the SAF (e.g. Lawson, 1908), we may assume that the focal region for the 1906 mainshock is located within the SAF zone. Then, an upper bound on a likely focal area is given by the intersection of: a) the SAF zone (as defined by the area between the SAF and the Golden Gate Fault in Bruns et al., 2002), b) the locations of recent micro-earthquakes in the area, and c) the uncertainty volume (pdf) for the Lomax (2005) “preferred” mainshock location. This area is bounded approximately by a polygon with corners at 37.79ºN-122.61ºW, 37.82ºN-122.57ºW, 37.71ºN-122.48ºW, 37.67ºN-122.53ºW, and center near 37.75ºN-122.55ºW (Figure showing 1906 focal area). This likely focal area extends northwestwards from offshore of Lake Merced to offshore of the southernmost Marin Peninsula. The southeast end of this area is a few kilometers to the northwest of the 1906 epicenter near Daly City of Bolt (1968), and near the proposed SAF stepover of Zoback et al. (1999).<br /><br />We can constrain a likely focal volume, including depth, by assuming that the 1906 mainshock hypocenter is within or at the bottom of the seismogenic zone defined by recent micro-earthquakes, as has been found for a number of recent, large earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault system, e.g. Morgan Hill, 1984 (Cockerham and Eaton, 1984), Loma Prieta, 1989 (Dietz and Ellsworth, 1990), and Parkfield, 2004 (Langbein, et al., 2005). With this assumption, the depth range of recent micro-earthquakes in the likely focal area implies a 1906 focal depth between a few kilometers and about 13 km (Figure showing 1906 focal volume).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-35518000204762070442013-09-02T19:26:53.817-07:002013-09-02T19:26:53.817-07:00The earthquake epicenter was in Marin County.
