Figure 9. Coulomb stress imparted to surrounding earthquakes using a simplified 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake source. Red mechanisms are promoted toward failure; blue mechanisms are inhibited. So, one would expect seismicity after the 1989 quake to turn off where beachballs are blue, and turn on where they are red. Credit: Temblor, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
