Fig. 3: Evolution of the aseismic slip at the plate interface and types of interaction between the different events.
From: Short-term interaction between silent and devastating earthquakes in Mexico
A Aseismic slip patches are those of Figs. 1 and 2 but color-coded according to the timespan of each event (see colorbar). Gray contours show iso-depths (in kilometers) of the 3D plate interface and yellow stars the epicenters of the Puebla-Morelos (Mw7.1) and Pinotepa (Mw7.2) earthquakes. B Sketch showing the evolution of events across the earthquake sequence in the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca, and the nature of the interaction between them, either dynamic or quasi-static.
