Figure 3. (a) There are no observed foreshocks along the Sürgü-Çardak Fault in the nine hours before it ruptured. (b) After the magnitude-7.5 event, aftershocks abound on the Sürgü-Çardak Fault and cease on the magnitude-7.8 rupture because of the stress shadow (blue zone) draped atop that part of the East Anatolian Fault.
