Figure 2

Main faults and geophysical observatories near the Ms 6.4 Yutian earthquake that occurred in 2020. Red lines indicate faults, including West Kunlun fault (WKF), Pulu fault (PLF), Karakax fault (KRF), Altun Tagh fault (ATF), west branch of Ashikule fault (WAF), east branch of Ashikule fault (EAF) and GozhaCo fault (GCF). Blue arrows indicate the relative motion of some faults. The focal mechanism represents the Yutian (YTEQ) earthquake. Square is locations of vertical pendulum tilt (VPT) in Yutian (YT) station. Triangle is locations of geo-electric field (GEF) in Hotan (HT) station. Top middle: the schematic damage of the electrode layout employed in the geo-electric field measurements. O1A1 = O1B1 = 225 m; O2A2 = O2B2 = 150 m; A1B1 = 318 m; A2B2 = 212 m. The figure was generated by using the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) 4 (https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/download/, accessed on 27 September 2022).
