Fig. 1: Tectonic setting.
From: Complex strike-slip faulting during the 2021 Mw7.4 Maduo earthquake
a Tectonic setting of the 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo earthquake, the epicenter of which is marked by the red star. The solid black traces are the major active tectonic block boundaries60. KLF Kunlun fault, EKLF East Kunlun fault, GYF Ganzi–Yushu fault, XSHF Xianshuihe faut. b The area marked by the green box in a. The blue triangles are GNSS stations, co-seismic horizontal displacements of which are shown with blue arrows36. The green line shows the surface rupture trace of the 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo earthquake, as measured by geological survey13. The aftershock sequence 9 days after the mainshock with focal mechanism solutions (beach balls) of Mw ≥ 4 aftershocks (identified with the occurrence times of events A–I and K–N) is indicated with dots color-coded with depth16. The focal mechanism solution of the Mw 3.8 aftershock (event J) estimated in this study is also indicated. The black traces are active faults61.
