Comparison of the source model of the 2015 Gorkha earthquake (black contours with a 1.46-m interval) with interseismic coupling distribution (shades of red, Ader et al. 2012), midcrustal microseismicity from 1996 to 2008 (gray dots, Ader et al. 2012), and aftershock distribution to September 30, 2015, determined by NSC (sky blue circles). Gray broken ellipses show the rough locations of the 1505 West Nepal earthquake (M w  ≈ 8.2), the 1983 Mid-Nepal earthquake (M w  ≈ 7.6), and the 1934 Nepal-Bihar earthquake (M w  ≈ 8.1). The moment magnitude values shown were determined by Ambraseys and Douglas (2004)
