Fig. 6: Finite-element model slip distributions compared to field28 and geodetic (SPOT6 optical imagery cross-correlation51) data.

Error bars denote field uncertainty and 1σ uncertainty, respectively. Model fault geometries are given on the right, and background stress fields are shown in Fig. 5. Models with the planar and coarse nonplanar fault geometry use a coefficient of friction, μ = 0.475. Models with fine nonplanar fault geometry use μ = 0.425. Releasing bend (RB1 and RB2) locations are shown in Fig. 5a.
