Introduction
The file contains six tables and seven figures.
Table S1 is the inverted source parameters of the testing model (Table 1) in Section 6.1.
Tables S2 - S5 are the inverted source parameters of the plane models of the GMT subhorizontal plane, the GCMT sub-vertical plane, and the plane best connect the subevents
(Table 1) in Section 6.2. Table S6 is the inverted source parameters of the model
compelling subevent 4 to 90 km south in Section 6.5.
Figures S1 is the waveform fitting of the best-fitting model (Table 1) in Section 4. Figure
S2 is the waveform fitting of the testing model in Section 6.1. Figures S3 – S6 are the
waveform fitting of the plane models of the GMT sub-horizontal plane, the GCMT subvertical plane, and the plane best connect the subevents (Table 1) in Section 6.2. Figure
S7 is the waveform fitting of the model compelling subevent 4 to 90 km south in Section
6.5. Figures 4, 7-10 and 13 in the main text are the selected waveform fitting of Figure S1
and S3 – S7.
