Static Coulomb stress change caused by the Acapulco earthquake. Hot (red) colors indicate areas where future earthquakes are more likely to be triggered. The area surrounded by the dashed red line experiences a value greater than 0.1 bar. Green and orange circles are earthquakes that occurred within 10 days after the Acapulco earthquake (obtained from the Servicio Sismológico Nacional). The dashed open circle represents the epicenter of the latest (1911) large earthquake inside the gap.
