Fig. 2

a Western half of Chain transform fault and b) eastern half of Chain transform fault. The red and green curves show the fault scarps, with latter highlighting the longest of them (L > 30 km). The yellow curves denote the positive flower structures (WFS 1−3 Western Flower Structures, ELFS Eastern Large Flower Structure). The bathymetry is shown in gray scale. The blue circles indicate the location of the events above  MC= 2.3 that were considered in the study. The median (50% quantile) and 95% quantile of the lateral uncertainty are shown in the inset box, and correspond to 2.5 km and 7.5 km, respectively.
