Slip distribution along the fault
used to calculate peak velocities for 400 m grid
spacing. The
fault is 50 km long and extends from the surface down to 15 km depth.
The southern end of the fault is at 0 km.
The colors show the amount of slip from 0 m (dark blue)
to 4.5 m (dark red).
The magnitude of the slip in each patch is scaled such
that the total moment for the earthquake is 5.37 1019 Nm.
