  • Title: Surface displacements in the 1906 san francisco and 1989 loma prieta earthquakes.
    Author: Segall P, Lisowski M.
    Journal: Science; 1990 Nov 30; 250(4985):1241-4. PubMed ID: 17829210.
    Abstract:
    The horizontal displacements accompanying the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake are computed from geodetic survey measurements. The 1906 earthquake displacement field is entirely consistent with right-lateral strike slip on the San Andreas fault. In contrast, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake exhibited subequal components of strike slip and reverse faulting. This result, together with other seismic and geologic data, may indicate that the two earthquakes occurred on two different fault planes.
