Fig. 1

Maps of the study region, showing the area considered for ground motion simulations (rectangle in dashed lines) and the observed coseismic landslide distribution. Colors denote values of simulated PGV without topography (a) and (b) the difference in PGV when we run the simulation with topography. PGV values are computed at ~50,000 densely spaced receiver locations. CMT: Centroid Moment Tensor. PGV values are reported only for the area examined by Roback et al.61 for mapping landslides. Basemap source: Esri,USGS, and the GIS User Community.
