Estimation of the Wenchuan Earthquake Rupture Sequence Utilizing Teleseismic Records and Coseismic Displacements

Figure 1

Epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake (red stars): surface rupture along the Longmenshan fault zone (red lines). The black lines are the surface offsets according to Xu et al. [1, 3, 4] to limit the slip of near-surface faults.
