Strain Partitioning and Interseismic Fault Behavior Along the Caribbean‐South American Transform Plate Boundary

We combine Global Positioning System and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to characterize the interseismic behavior (i.e., locked or creeping), strain partitioning for faults along Caribbean-South American transform plate boundary. Interseismic is distributed mainly on three faults, San Sebastian, El Pilar, Central Range but occurs across multiple in west (San Sebastian La Victoria faults) east (Sub-Tobago Terrane, Range, South Coast faults). In northern Venezuela, slip partitioned (16.4 ± 1.7 mm/yr) (4.3 0.9 faults. north-eastern Pilar fault accommodates at a rate of 18.6 1.8 mm/yr.
