Figure 4

Throw analysis of basement-cutting normal faults. Left vertical axis is cumulative fault throw of basement-cutting normal faults that cut the TIC for each regional seismic line. Notice that the change in slopes varies from line to line with a slight slope change south to north. The histogram, gray bar graph, shows the median number of faults for each 10 km bin east of the trench (right vertical axis). A general increase in the number of faults towards the trench indicates that new faults form close to the deformation front.
