a Surface projection of fault ruptures for 6 February earthquakes, along with the simplified traces of EAFZ and NAFZ b Surface projection of fault ruptures for 6 February earthquakes in comparison to segmentation of active fault map of Turkey4. The surface projections of the fault ruptures are obtained from the finite-fault models of the United States Geological Survey8. A blue rectangle in a indicates the selected frame in b. The estimated maximum magnitude for each segment is shown in parentheses in the legend of b.
