Active Faults of El Salvador

This data set contains three compressed files with information on Active Faults in El Salvador. The methodology used can be found in the publication “Martínez-Díaz et al.

Journal of South American Earth Sciences. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsames.2020.103038 -Fault Traces: This compressed file contains the traces of all active faults identified in El Salvador from geomorphological and field work data. -Major Faults: This file contains the Shapefile format traces of the major faults interpreted in El Salvador. -Table Faults: Table in “csv” format containing information of all fault traces that are interpreted as sections of a major faults. In some cases the major faults include only one section Table headers: -ID: Identification number; -Name_Section: name of the trace interpreted as a section of a major fault; -Name_Fault: name of the major fault -Length Section (m): Length in km of the section. -Strike: Strike of the fault section. -Length Fautl: Length of the major fault -Mw1: Maximum magnitude (Mw) calculated using the empirical relationship of Stilrling et al.
