32. This value of the contractional strain assumes fault-plane dips of 30°. The estimated displacements for eight previously known scarps determined by Watters and Johnson (2) range from ∼12 to 108 m (corresponding to a range of horizontal shortening of ∼10 to 92 m). The Lee-Lincoln scarp has a displacement of ∼260 m (horizontal shortening of ∼225 m), estimated with the NAC stereo-derived Digital Terrain Model (figs. S1 and S3).
