Figure 3. The 1812 template and direction of loading. In 1812, two subevents broke the Boconó (west) and San Sebastián–Caracas (east) segments (Choy et al., 2010). The 2026 doublet reoccupied the western segment and stepped east, raising stress on the unbroken San Sebastián segment toward Caracas (dashed red with yellow highlight). The stress lobe is schematic.
