3D fault geometry of the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and photos showing the spatial variation of ground uplift taken at different ports

Caption

Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and resulting uplift. Uplift varied from 1-2 meters in some areas, to as much as 4-5 meters in others.
