Notes 1 PGA (peak ground acceleration at bedrock) and spectral accelerations (SA) were computed using all five NGA attenuation relationships. 2 The Range Front fault (i.e. the southern continuation of the Coyote Creek fault) is considered non-seismogenic. Fault Type: RV = Reverse, SS = Strike slip HW: Yes = on hanging wall. No = on foot wall Rmap = map distance Rjb = Joyner-Boore Distance Rrup = fault rupture distance
