The authors present a numerical modeling study that examines the deformational response of western North America to Baja California and/or Sierra Nevada microplate motion. In particular we study if, and under what condition of microplate motion, shear strain ...

In this paper is examined the sensitivity of fault slip rate estimates to assumed rheology for the Agua Blanca and San Miguel-Vallecitos faults in northern Baja California, Mexico, part of the Pacific-North America plate boundary zone.
