Map of the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence before and after relocation proces

Detailed Description

Shaded relief map views of the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence. Events are color coded by depth. Depth is referenced to a surface elevation of 0.7 km above sea level. Dot size does not scale with magnitude. Stars indicate Mw 6.4 and 7.1 epicenter locations from Shelly, 2020. The seismic stations used in this study are shown as small white triangles (additional stations beyond main map view shown in inset). Pink squares show town centers. White lines indicate mapped surface rupture (both fully and not fully verified) (Kendrick et al., 2019).
