Fault Sources

---

Fault sources are modeled as multi-planar features with earthquake ruptures distributed over the fault plane. The input parameters required to model a fault in a Seismic Hazard Analysis (SHA) are as follows:

• Fault Geometry
• Mechanism (Normal, Reverse, Strike-Slip)
• Magnitude Distribution (required for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis only)
• Activity Rate (required for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis only)
