It was the first earthquake observed to be associated with mainly horizontal fault displacement.
2.
Tsunamis in lakes can be generated by fault displacement beneath or around lake systems.
3.
The fault displacement during the earthquake was greater than 5 m, and the duration is estimated at about one minute.
4.
The tsunami reports associated with this earthquake are unlikely to be directly caused by the movement of the fault as none of the fault displacement happened beneath the sea.
5.
The fault displacement during the earthquake was greater than 6 m, and possibly as much as 11 m, and the duration is estimated at about two minutes.
6.
This allows not only the identification of the older and younger formations, but conclusions about unusual local conditions, such as folding, a fault displacement, or an unconformity.
7.
If the total fault displacement came about as a result of the same type of large-displacement shocks like the one in 1952, the recurrence interval was proposed to be 170 450 years.
8.
The Serra Fault is, therefore, not zoned for Special Studies by the State of California and is classified as Quaternary in age : that is, fault displacement within the past two million years.
9.
No unambiguous fault displacement has been found that is related to the event, but a portion of the southeast coast of Lake Burdur experienced subsidence of up to and this may indicate that the event was due to normal faulting with a strike of N45�E.
10.
The overall fault displacement was summarized by geologist Barclay Kamb and others as " nearly equal amounts of north south compression, vertical uplift ( north side up ), and left lateral slip and hence may be described as a thrusting of a northern block to the southwest over a southern block, along a fault surface dipping about 45?north ."
