Rupture extent of earthquakes that pass or end at Cajon Pass. Based on the Maximum Rupture Model (MRM) by Scharer and Yule (2020) and the modeling by Rodríguez Padilla et al. (2021). The colors mark earthquakes with similar rupture lengths; the mean age of these events is indicated in each case. Small arrows show where the ruptures continue beyond the map section shown. On the left is a timeline of events at Cajon Pass. It shows when the "gate" was open or closed.
