<br /> Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022 <br />Earthquake Hazards <br />- 63 - <br />Compton Fault <br />The Compton fault lies Northwest of the City. According to USUS, the Compton thrust fault (blind) <br />extends below the western Los Angeles Basin, lying entirely within Mesozoic metamorphic <br />basement (Catalina Schist). Most of the thrust fault is a ramp that rises to the southwest from <br />depths as great as 10 km up to 5 km. The ramp connects the Central Basin Decollement, a thrust <br />flat below the Los Angeles Basin, with shallower parts of the thrust fault near its tip below the <br />Palos Verdes Peninsula. It was estimated to have a slip rate of 1.2+0.5, -0.3 mm/year. <br /> <br />Map: Shake Intensity Map – Compton Fault M7.4 <br />(Source: USGS) <br /> <br /> <br />City Council 26 – 69 1/17/2023 <br />
