Figure 6. Stress transferred by the 2024 magnitude 7.5 earthquake to the surrounding faults indicates that several faults beyond the ends of the rupture were likely brought closer to failure (NT9, NT10, KZ1, KZ2, SD05, SD06). In contrast, most faults in Toyama Bay should be inhibited from failing as a result of the mainshock. Credit: Toda and Stein, 2024, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
