Figure 2b. Cross section showing the vertical distribution of the August 2024 earthquakes, including the mainshock (magnitude 6.8 of August 3, 2024) and six aftershocks (with magnitudes between 4.8 and 6.2) up to five days after the mainshock. Focal mechanism solution plots are shown for the main events; small pale dots indicate smaller-magnitude aftershocks. Approximate trace of the subducting Philippine Sea Plate is shown by a dashed line. Here, seismicity doesn’t clearly show that the slab subducts to a depth of 150 kilometers, as it does elsewhere. Data sources same as in Figure 2a. Credit: Aurelio and Catugas, 2024, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
