Gradients between populations of these GPS data are locations where active intraplate deformation may occur as faults or folds. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/544894b0e4b05dc11fe34492/t/56f23a27cf80a1b80c9a4f93/1458715207199/ RESEARCH Earthquake hazards in the Pacific Northwest come from a variety of fault sources related to the convergence of the North American and Juan de Fuca tectonic plates. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/544894b0e4b05dc11fe34492/t/56f236d8e707ebc63b9433ab/1458714338260/ RESEARCH Across much of the Pacific Northwest, active structures are visible in the landscape. The Yakima Folds form elongate east-west mountains. Back-arc extension in Oregon is expressed as sharp north-trending normal fault escarpments. Offshore, the trench and spreading ridges are dominant features. Red lines here are known Quaternary-active faults and folds (USGS).

This scarp is likely related to back-thrusting along the Umtanum Ridge anticline and thrust fault, a component of the Yakima Folds.
