The data is derived from the shapefile QfaultsWUS, which is itself a product of the U.S.G.S. Quaternary Fault database available at http: HTTP://earthquake.usgs.gov/qfaults . The average shear (measured in nanometers per year) is measured over a 20 x 20 km grid cell. The slip rate, rake, and type of movement is measured for some faults but are not constrained and have been estimated for many others.
