A palaeoseismic trench investigation of early Holocene neotectonic faulting along the Kango Fault, southern Cape Fold Belt, South Africa- part II: earthquake parameters
The location and estimated magnitude of a recent surface rupturing earthquake along the eastern part of the Kango Fault traversing the southern Cape Fold Belt, South Africa, is reported here, as well as the minimum recurrence interval and maximum slip rate. These palaeoseismic data are derived from analysis of the mapped logs of an 82 m long, 5 m deep trench excavated across the fault, supported by 12 optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates.
