Fig. 4: Time evolution of the rupture during the Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake.

From: Cascading and pulse-like ruptures during the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes in the Eastern California Shear Zone

Fig. 4

a, b Snapshots of the rupture expansion history every two seconds. Colours shading indicates the fault slip rate average over 2 s intervals. The black dashed contour presents the pseudo-rupture front with a rupture velocity of 2.0 km/s. F1, F2, F3 correspond to the faults in Fig. 3. c Presents slip rate at the six locations in a. Time is relative to the hypocentral origin.
