a Forward magnetic modeling results. b 2-D magnetic models with the observed near-bottom magnetic profile PP′ (marked by bold blue line in a). We assumed that the effective magnetic layer thickness is 1 km, that the footwall rotated about 21.2° based on the present faulting surface slope angle, and that the rotation angle progressively increases with the distance from the termination. Red-colored numbers are magnetizations (in A m−1) based on sample measurements (see Supplementary Table 1), where minus means reverse polarity. The mass wasting magnetization value of zero reduces the effective layer magnetization contribution. Geomagnetic reversals are modeled as vertical boundaries for simplicity and the GAD inclination (62.3°) is used except for the area changing with footwall rotation.
