From: Is the deformation rate of the Longmenshan fault zone really small? Insight from seismic data at the two-decade time scale

Fig. 2

(a) Cumulative Benioff strain (CBS) using earthquakes with ML ≥ 2.5 from 1977/01/01 to 2008/01/01 along the Longmenshan fault zone (Polygon D), together with those along the nearby Xianshuihe (A), Anninghe (B), and Zemuhe (C) fault zone for comparison. Blue and gray vertical dashed lines correspond to the 1981/01/24 Daofu MS 6.9 earthquake and the 1985/04/18 Luquan MS 6.2 earthquake, respectively. Shadow region shows the time window from 1987/01/01 to 2008/01/01. (b) Cumulative Benioff strain for the period from 1987/01/01 to 2008/01/01.
