Figure 5. Calculations of the Coulomb stress imparted by the magnitude 7.0 Cape Mendocino quake to major surrounding faults. (a) Stress transferred to the northernmost San Andreas, which last ruptured in 1906. (b) Stress transferred to the southernmost Cascadia megathrust, which likely last ruptured in 1700.
