The Jordan valley segment of the DST , the Jordan Rift Valley , runs for about 100 km from the northwestern part of the Dead Sea to the southeastern part of the Sea of Galilee along the Jordan Valley . A slip rate of between 4.7 and 5.1 mm per year has been estimated over the last 47,500 years . The entire segment is thought to have ruptured during the earthquake in 749 and again in 1033 , the most recent major earthquake along this structure . The deficit in slip that has built up since the 1033 event is sufficient to cause an earthquake of ~ 7.4
