Figure 5. Comparison of the 1952 earthquake’s slip inferred by MacInnes et al. (2010) with the slip inferred by the USGS for the 2025 earthquake (USGS, 2025). The 1952 rupture might have extended farther to the southwest than the 2025 rupture. But, because the slip models are based on different data, and the 1952 observations are far more limited, this comparison is only approximate. Credit: left panel modified from Toda and Stein (2022).
