Here, we show that the 2019 Mw7.0 Ridgecrest mainshock as well as its Mw6.5 foreshock ruptured orthogonal conjugate faults. We invert the waveforms recorded by the dense strong motion network at relatively high frequencies (up to 1 Hz for P; 0.25 Hz for S) to derive multiple‐point source models for...
