The fault forms part of the boundary between two of the major crustal blocks that form the island, the North Sula Block and the Makassar Block.The current slip rate along the Palu-Koro Fault is estimated to be in the range 30 to 40 millimetres (1.2 to 1.6 in) per year, compared to a long term slip rate of 40 to 50 millimetres (1.6 to 2.0 in) per year over the last 5 million years.
