From: Insight into the 2017 Mainling Mw 6.5 earthquake: a complicated thrust event beneath the Namche Barwa syntaxis

Fig. 1

a Tectonic map of the Namche Barwa syntaxis. The beach balls represent the location and the focal mechanism of the Mainling earthquake: The blue one is the result of this study, the green one is from the USGS, and the red one is from Bai et al. (2017). b Tectonic map and historical earthquakes (Mw > 4) around the Namche Barwa syntaxis. The locations and the focal mechanisms of the Mainling earthquake and the Mw > 7 historical earthquakes are represented with the blue and black beach balls, respectively. The dotted line rectangles indicate the extents of the interferograms shown in Table 1. The blue box indicates the extent of Fig. 1a. Blue arrows are interseismic GPS velocities (from CMONOC, in a period of 1999–2017) provided by the GNSS Data, Products and Services Platform (http://www.cgps.ac.cn/) of the China Earthquake Administration. Small black circles show seismicity from the USGS during 1950–2018
