Short summary
Unlike episodic plate boundary earthquakes, their randomness makes predicting intraplate earthquakes challenging. This study aids in understanding intraplate earthquake behavior by analyzing paleo-earthquake records of the Yangsan Fault in Korea. Five trench sites revealed six Quaternary earthquakes, the latest 3000 years ago, with Mw 6.7–7.1. The right-lateral fault has a 0.13 mm yr-1 slip rate and a recurrence interval of over 13000 years; it has been continuously active since the Quaternary.
