Figure 7. We calculate that the magnitude 7.1 event brought the southwest edge of the 1946 rupture surface just 0.01 bar closer to failure. This is a negligible amount. In an attempt to be as realistic as possible, here we are calculating the stress in the local fault slip direction (‘rake’) in the rupture model of Kato and Ando (1997). The red halo around the 2024 shock results from the stress increases on adjacent thrust faults. Credit: Temblor, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
