comparison of fault rupture
When an earthquake occurs, it ruptures a patch along a fault. Generally speaking, the
larger the earthquake magnitude, the larger the rupture patch. Initial estimates, based on
the distribution of aftershocks, suggest that the magnitude 9.0 Sumatra-Andaman Islands
Earthquake ruptured a fault patch roughly the size of the entire Cascadia Subduction
Zone (see map above) that extends under northern California, Oregon, Washington, and
southern British Colombia. Initial modeling of the seismic waves suggests that most of
the slip occurred in the southern 400 kilometers of the fault rupture. For comparison, a
magnitude 5 earthquake would rupture a patch roughly the size of New York City's
Central Park.
