FEM structure used in the numerical simulation. a The yellow rectangle denotes fault rupture. The top surface exhibits topographical relief. The color blocks denote the upper, middle and lower crust and the mantle, respectively. The profile AB is normal to the MFT. b Map view of the FEM mesh. c The larger view of the FEM mesh in the near-field area of the Gorkha earthquake. d The elevation, Vp, Vs, density and viscosity variations along the profile AB. The black line is the
