Figure 1b. Cross section showing the vertical distribution of earthquakes, including the magnitude 7.4 event of December 3, 2024, and the August 3, 2024 mainshock (magnitude 6.8) along with six succeeding aftershocks (with magnitudes between 4.8 and 6.2). Focal mechanism solution plots are shown for the main events, whereas small pale dots indicate historical earthquakes. Approximate trace of the subducting Philippine Sea Plate is shown by a dashed line. Data sources same as in Figure 1a. Credit: Aurelio and Catugas, 2024, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
