Central San Andreas Fault

Caption

Syntheric aperture radar data for 2003 to 2010 let the team map the average rate of movement for the ground flanking the central section of the San Andreas Fault (black line). Red shows ground movement toward the southeast, and blue to the northwest. The intensity of the color shows how fast areas moved on average, with paler colors showing less movement.
