Extended Data Fig. 7: Nucleation location sensitivity tests with the preferred model set-up.
From: Seismic gap breached by the 2025 Mw 7.7 Mandalay (Myanmar) earthquake

(a) Relative prestress ratio of the fault model (SB1) used as the preferred model for the Mw 7.7 Myanmar earthquake simulation. (b-d) Final fault slip for rupture scenarios initiated at 213 km, 121 km, and 66 km north of the stress barrier zone, respectively. Black contours denote 3-second rupture time intervals. The resulting moment magnitude is indicated in the bottom-left of each panel.
