Thrust faulting in the northern Los Angeles basin occurs in response to north–south crustal shortening. [14] The fault responsible for the earthquake represented a component of a larger system of faults within the 160 km (99 mi) "Big Bend" stepover of the San Andreas Fault. Crustal compression occurs along this bend of the San Andreas Fault.
