White Wolf Fault
Californian fault
The White Wolf Fault is a fault in southern California, located along the northwestern transition of the Tejon Hills and Tehachapi Mountains with the San Joaquin Valley. It is north of the intersection of the San Andreas Fault and the Garlock Fault, and roughly parallel with the latter. It is classed as a reverse (vertical motion) fault with a left lateral (sinistral) component.[1]
Activity
The White Wolf Fault was the source of the 1952 Kern County earthquake on July 21 (M=7.3).[2][3][4][5]
