The Puente Hills Fault (also known as the Puente Hills Thrust Fault System) is an active geological fault that is located in the Los Angeles Basin in California. The thrust fault was discovered in 1999 and runs about 40 km (25 mi) in three discrete sections from the Puente Hills region in the southeast to just south of Griffith Park in the northwest. The fault is known as a blind thrust fault, as the fault plane does not extend to the surface. Large earthquakes on the fault are relatively infrequent but computer modeling has indicated that a major event could have substantial impact in the Los Angeles area. The fault is now thought to be responsible for one moderate earthquake in 1987 (the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake) and another light event that took place in 2010, with the former ca

dbo:abstract
  • Die Puente-Hills-Verwerfung ist eine Überschiebung (Erdspalte) in 17 Kilometer Tiefe direkt unterhalb der Großstadt Los Angeles im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Sie wurde erst im Jahre 1999 entdeckt. Die Verwerfung verläuft etwa 25 Meilen (40 km) von den La Puente Hills im Südosten zum Griffith Park im Nordwesten. (de)
  • La faille de Puente Hills est une faille située dans le bassin de Los Angeles en Californie. Cette faille pourrait subir un mouvement de la faille de San Andreas et constitue une menace qui occasionnerait pour les habitants de Los Angeles un séisme de magnitude 8,5 ou 9,0 sur l'échelle de Richter.
