research paper
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I'm a little confused. I'm supposed to be writing a research paper on Earthquakes and I'm supposed to include the displacement of the fault, and the rupture length, and I'm a little confused as to how to find them.
It says this : "Modeling of the rupture of this earthquake indicate that the fault moved upwards of 30-40 m, and slipped over an area approximately 300 km long (along-strike) by 150 km wide (in the down-dip direction)."
But I still am unsure is the rupture lenth is 30-40meters, or if thats how much the fault was displaced.
my professor sucks at emailing me back, so for those of you who are good with these things, please help??

IF this is your question; "But I still am unsure is the rupture length is 30-40meters, or if that's how much the fault was displaced."
I would say this is the displacement. How much the earth moved up or over the other plate. Just so you know; It has been a long time since I was in school, decades in fact. My answer to you is based more on logic than what I can remember of the one course in Geology I took.
