Our final locations for most clusters are well correlated with known local tectonic features. We relate the 1981 Santa Barbara Island ( M L = 5.3) earthquake with the Santa Cruz fault, the 13...

Map of the inner Continental Borderland, offshore southern California, showing the regions for which we located events in this study. Mapped and inferred faults are indicated by continuous and dashed lines and bathymetric contours are shown in light gray lines. Squares indicate the location of population centers. Dark circles show the location of ML ≧ 5.0 events in the region between 1920 and 1997. Light (A and B quality) and dark (C and D quality) gray dots are event locations from the SCSN catalog from 1981 to 1997. Dashed boxes enclose the earthquakes that we located within the following regions: Santa Barbara Island (SBI), Santa Catalina Island (SCA), Oceanside (OCS), Coronado Bank (CBK), and near San Clemente Island (SCLN, SCL, SCLS).

The north-dipping backlimb of this anticline is 20–30 km wide and 220 km long; its presence suggests a very large north-dipping thrust that could generate very large earthquakes. The slip rate for this fault, however, is substantially...
