Relative Structural Complexity of Plate‐Boundary Fault Systems Controls Incremental Slip‐Rate Behavior of Major Strike‐Slip Faults

Abstract A comparison of published incremental fault slip rates from four major strike‐slip faults with the proximity and number of other active faults in the surrounding plate boundary systems shows that the behavior of the primary fault is correlated with the structural complexity of its tectonic...
