Landers Rupture Visualization (Color)
 |
3D perspective snapshot of a dynamic rupture simulation of the 1992 M 7.3 Landers, California, earthquake. The vertical plane represents the fault plane, and the horizontal plane is the land surface. The hot colors depict the slip on the fault as well as the ground velocity. The snapshot of the leftward propagating earthquake is taken approximately 11 seconds after rupture initiation.
