Laguna Salada Fault

About 64–80 kilometers (40–50 mi) long, it straddles the Imperial County-California–Baja California border.

It occurred on 23 February 1892, and was centered near Laguna Salada in Baja California.

[2] The Laguna Salada Fault is thought to be the origin of the 2010 Baja California earthquake.

[1] Prior to this, the fault had not produced a major earthquake for over 100 years, since 1892.

[4] These faults are considered to be secondary cohorts of the San Andreas Fault, and as such share some of the strike-slip motion between the North American plate and the Pacific plate.
