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]

Geology

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 M_w 6.0 to a M_w 7.0 earthquake.^[3]
