3a) shows that the preferred slope angle of EALs was between 10 and 20 degrees and the rose diagram of aspect angles (Supplementary Fig. 3b) shows that the orientations of EALs were concentrated between SE and SSW directions. In addition, compared to non-EALs, EALs also exhibited an ...
Reevaluation of instrumental and documentary sources show that the 1914, 1948 and 2003 earthquakes ruptured the same fault segment and that all had similar size, which implies that this segment produces characteristic earthquakes. This is verified by the magnitude-frequency diagram which for the ...
