Expected surface displacement scenario
This section shows maps of the predicted surface displacement based on a finite fault derived from focal mechanisms. Images contain maps of simulated displacement; they only provide qualitative indications about the expected displacement. Use the pull-down menu to select a scenario from those available. Finite fault dimensions and mean slip are based on the scaling factore in Leonard (2010), doi 10.1785/0120090189. Scenarios are available only for a limited period after the event
