Spatial variability adds more uncertainty, because a flood peak observed at different locations on the same stream during the same event commonly represents a different recurrence interval at each location.
22.
The slip rate for the Borrego mountain segment ( 4 ?2mm / yr ) was extrapolated for use along the segment and a recurrence interval of 340 years was established.
23.
The southern segment ( also known as the restraining bend is thought to be where the fault locks up in Southern California, with an earthquake-recurrence interval of roughly 140 160 years.
24.
Following introduction of the, a Failure Impact Assessment noted the dam design did not comply with the latest safety standards and may over top during a 1 in 50 year average recurrence interval.
25.
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.
26.
The Working Group used these new figures to assign a slip rate of 4 ? mm / yr with an average recurrence interval of 250 ( + 400 /-133 ) years for the segment.
27.
For example, a basin model can calculate the runoff hydrograph that might result from a 100-year storm, although the recurrence interval of a storm is rarely equal to that of the associated flood.
28.
Three tsunami deposits have been identified within the Holocene sequence of the plain, all formed within the last 3, 000 years, suggesting an 800 to 1, 100 year recurrence interval for large tsunamigenic earthquakes.
29.
The luminosity of the outburst increases with the recurrence interval as well as the orbital period; recent research with the Hubble space telescope suggests that the latter relationship could make dwarf novae useful standard candles for measuring cosmic distances.
30.
Geomorphological evidence, particularly the uplifted beach ridges observed at Turakirae Head, appears to record three previous coseismic uplifts of the Rimutaka Range caused by earthquakes similar in magnitude to the 1855 event, with a recurrence interval of about 2200 years.
