Sixty percent of the fault system releases energy through fault creep, ranging from 0.1 to 25.1 mm (.004 to 1 inch) per year, and about 28 percent remains locked at depth, according to the authors.

As a result, an earthquake triggered at the fault could reach up to magnitude 7.4. "This system is mostly offshore but never more than four miles from the San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles ...

The fault has produced several minor earthquakes over the past few centuries, usually of magnitude 3 or 4. Earthquakes were recorded in 1816, 1888, 1890 and 1901, the Daily Mail reports.
