Fig. 1

Earthquakes from the local catalog. Subduction thrust events from Pacheco and Singh (2010) and Yamamoto et al. (2013). Three groups of vectors represent three regions. Black lines indicate normal to the trench, blue arrows—convergence velocity, orange arrows—average coseismic slip vectors projected to the surface for each region with 95% error ellipses. Violet lines are the trace of LVC fault: dashed [from Cerca et al. (2007) and Tolson (2005)], solid [“L”—from Solari et al. (2007) and “C”—from Tolson (2005)]. Red lines are the location of the La Venta fault system from the geomorphology study of Gaidzik et al. (2016). Terrane subdivision according to Campa and Coney (1983), Sedlock et al. (1993), and Keppie (2004). Darkblue arrows show the Xolapa sliver motion. Solid and dashed gray lines indicate regional faults [from Solari et al. (2007)]. Thin gray lines are the plate interface isodepth contours (Hayes 2018)
