Figure 3

Overall strain rates in the Garhwal–Kumaun region. The red arrows in the strain vectors indicate the compressional axis and the blue arrow shows the extensional component. High compression zone (HCZ), Extensional deformational zone (EDZ), Equal strain-rate zone (ESZ), Low strain-rate zone (LSZ), and the locked zone are marked. The Chamoli earthquake cluster is marked by the green circle. Seismicity of the region is given in green dots and available focal mechanism solutions (Supplementary Table. 1) are also marked as beach balls. The wider violet dotted circle represents the curvilinear deformation field focusing to the Chamoli cluster. The black rectangle given in the inset map at the left bottom corner of the plot indicates the study area. Base map of the plot was created using Generic Mapping Tool (GMT) open source software version 5.4.5 (https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/) and the further modifications are done using the Global Mapper software (https://www.bluemarblegeo.com/global-mapper/).
