Map showing the topography of the source area (topographic data from the NGDC, National Geophysical Data Center) for the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Star and circles denote the epicenter and aftershocks (mb ≥ 5.0), respectively. Also shown is the focal mechanism from the USGS. Close squares are several cities around the source area. Red lines denote three faults in the Longmenshan fault zone (WMF: Wenchuan-Maowen fault; BYF: Beichuan-Yingxiu fault; GJF: Guanxian-Jiangyou fault, also called the Pengguan fault).
