Similar to the Landers event, ground-surface fracturing occurred on multiple faults in the trough. However, the 2010 event triggered surface slip on more faults in the central Salton Trough than previous earthquakes, including multiple faults in the Yuha Desert area, the southwestern section of the Salton Trough. In the central Salton Trough, surface fracturing occurred along the southern San Andreas, Coyote Creek, Superstition Hills, Wienert, Kalin, and Imperial Faults and along the Brawley Fault Zone, all of which are known to have slipped in historical time, either in primary (tectonic) slip and/or in triggered slip. Surface slip in association with the El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake is at least the eighth time in the past 42 years that a local or regional earthquake has triggered slip along faults in the central Salton Trough. In the southwestern part of the Salton Trough, surface fractures (triggered slip) occurred in a broad area of the Yuha Desert. This is the first time that triggered slip has been observed in the southwestern Salton Trough.\nTriggered slip in the Yuha Desert area occurred along more than two dozen faults, only some of which were recognized before the April 4, 2010, El Mayor-Cucapah earthquake. From east to northwest, slip occurred in seven general areas: (1) in the Northern Centinela Fault Zone (newly named), (2) along unnamed faults south of Pinto Wash, (3) along the Yuha Fault (newly named), (4) along both east and west branches of the Laguna Salada Fault, (5) along the Yuha Well Fault Zone (newly revised name) and related faults between it and the Yuha Fault, (6) along the Ocotillo Fault (newly named) and related faults to the north and south, and (7) along the southeasternmost section of the Elsinore Fault. Faults that slipped in the Yuha Desert area include northwest-trending right-lateral faults, northeast-trending left-lateral faults, and north-south faults, some of which had dominantly vertical offset. Triggered slip along the Ocotillo and Elsinore Faults appears to have occurred only in association with the June 14, 2010 (Mw5.7), aftershock. This aftershock also resulted in slip along other faults near the town of Ocotillo. Triggered offset on faults in the Yuha Desert area was mostly less than 20 mm, with three significant exceptions, including slip of about 50\u201360 mm on the Yuha Fault, 40 mm on a fault south of Pinto Wash, and about 85 mm on the Ocotillo Fault. All triggered slips in the Yuha Desert area occurred along preexisting faults, whether previously recognized or not.", "description": "vi, 49 p.; Appendix", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "Rymer, Michael J. mrymer@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Michael J.", "familyName": "Rymer", "email": "mrymer@usgs.gov", "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Earthquake Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/earthquake-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Lienkaemper, James J. jlienk@usgs.gov", "givenName": "James J.", "familyName": "Lienkaemper", "email": "jlienk@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-7578-7042", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7578-7042"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Earthquake Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/earthquake-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Kendrick, Katherine J. kendrick@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Katherine J.", "familyName": "Kendrick", "email": "kendrick@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-9839-6861", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9839-6861"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Earthquake Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/earthquake-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Sickler, Robert R. rsickler@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Robert R.", "familyName": "Sickler", "email": "rsickler@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-9141-625X", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9141-625X"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Earthquake Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/earthquake-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Knepprath, Nichole", "givenName": "Nichole", "familyName": "Knepprath"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Tong, Xiaopeng", "givenName": "Xiaopeng", "familyName": "Tong"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Irvine, Pamela J.", "givenName": "Pamela J.", "familyName": "Irvine"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Bilham, Roger G.", "givenName": "Roger G.", "familyName": "Bilham", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-5547-4102", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5547-4102"}}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Wei, Meng", "givenName": "Meng", "familyName": "Wei"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Olson, Brian P.E.", "givenName": "Brian P.E.", "familyName": "Olson"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Siem, Martin E.", "givenName": "Martin E.", "familyName": "Siem"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Treiman, Jerome A.", "givenName": "Jerome A.", "familyName": "Treiman"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Weldon, Ray J.", "givenName": "Ray J.", "familyName": "Weldon"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Hernandez, Janis L.", "givenName": "Janis L.", "familyName": "Hernandez"}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Fielding, Eric J.", "givenName": "Eric J.", "familyName": "Fielding"}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Earthquake Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/earthquake-science-center"}], "spatialCoverage": [{"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "United States", "url": "https://geonames.org/6252001"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "Mexico", "url": "https://geonames.org/4971871"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "California", "url": "https://geonames.org/5332921"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "Baja California"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "Salton Trough"}, {"@type": "Place", "geo": [{"@type": "GeoShape", "additionalProperty": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "GeoJSON", "value": {"type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{"type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-116.75, 32], [-116.75, 34], [-115.16666666666667, 34], [-115.16666666666667, 32], [-116.75, 32]]]}}]}}}, {"@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 33.00000000000001, "longitude": -115.95833333333333}]}]}
