Figure 2. Xiong et al. (2017) calculated the Coulomb stress imparted by the ten shocks along the Sagaing fault since 1906 with magnitudes greater than or equal to 6.5; the fault section with the highest accumulated stress ruptured on 28 March 2025. In the left panel, we annotated the original figure from Xiong et al. in which they calculate stress on regional right-lateral faults. In the right panel, we annotated a figure showing calculations of stress on the Saigang fault from Xiong et al. (2017). Credit: Modified from Xiong et al., 2017, figures 2g and 3a
