Fig. 1

A map showing the study area in north China. The open triangles mark the locations of stations that recorded the 05/12/2008 MW 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, and the black triangles mark the nearest and nearby stations that recorded the triggered earthquakes. The gray star marks the location of an ML = 1.3 earthquake north of Tangshan occurred during the surface waves of the Wenchuan earthquake. The gray lines denote active fault traces. The focal mechanism solutions of the 1975 Mw 7.0 Haicheng earthquake, the 1975 Mw 7.6 Tangshan earthquake and its two large aftershocks are plotted. The small gray dots mark the background seismicity from 01/01/2001 to 11/30/2008. The inset shows map of China. The large star marks the epicenter of the Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake. The box corresponds to the study area and the dashed line shows the ray path.
