The Chino Fault extends along the eastern Chino Hills range region, from Corona in Riverside County to the Los Serranos, Chino Hills area of San Bernardino County in Southern California. [1]
The Chino Fault and Whittier Fault are the two upper branches of the Elsinore Fault Zone, [2] which is part of the trilateral split of the San Andreas fault system. The right-lateral strike-slip fault has a slip rate of 1.0 millimeter/year and is capable of producing anywhere from a Mw 6.0 to a Mw 7.0 earthquake. [3]
