Theoretical orientations of maximum principal stresses. The background stress is assumed to be uniform with the direction N45°W. Stress on the Anninghe fault is (a) 100% and (b) 30% of the background stress, respectively, while the stress on the Zemuhe fault is 0% of the background stress. A large difference of the stress orientations between the two models can be observed in the bold circle area with a diameter of 50 km.
