Sevier/Toroweap fault
In plain English
The two sides move less than 0.2 mm a year — under 2 cm a century. Slow faults can still produce large earthquakes, just rarely.
Its most recent surface rupture is younger than 15,000 years.
USGS maps it as 4 sections: Sevier section, central Toroweap section, northern Toroweap section, southern Toroweap section.
