The Interpretation of Seismogenic Fault of the Maduo Mw 7.3 Earthquake, Qinghai Based on Remote Sensing Images—A Branch of the East Kunlun Fault System

Earthquake Cycle Deformation Associated With the 2021 MW 7.4 Maduo (Eastern Tibet) Earthquake: An Intrablock Rupture Event on a Slow‐Slipping Fault From Sentinel‐1 InSAR and Teleseismic Data

“…We note that the 2021 Maduo earthquake caused positive stress changes of larger than 0.01 MPa on 2 segments of the KF: east of the Tuosuo Lake segment, and the Maqin segment which has drawn extensive concern of high seismic risk due to few historical earthquakes in the past ∼1,000 years in this seismic gap (X. Wen et al., 2007; Xiong et al., 2010; L. Zhu, Ji, & Liu, 2021); besides, the western Jiuzhi Fault as well as part of the Dari Fault and the Bayan Har Shan Main Peak Fault in the west have experienced comparable increased ΔCFS (Figure 10). The Jiangcuo Fault could be considered as a southern splay of the KF and might be connected to the Kunlun Mountain Pass Fault in the west (Ha et al., 2022; Pan et al., 2021; M. Wang, Shen, et al., 2021), which ruptured during the 2001 M W 7.8 Kokoxili earthquake (Ozacar & Beck, 2004; Walker & Shearer, 2009). The 2021 Maduo earthquake was likely brought closer to failure by the 2001 M W 7.8 Kokoxili earthquake (Dong et al., 2022).…”

“…The 2021 Maduo earthquake was likely brought closer to failure by the 2001 M W 7.8 Kokoxili earthquake (Dong et al., 2022). The unbroken segment between the 2001 Kokoxili and 2021 Maduo ruptures should be of concern for elevated seismic hazard (Ha et al., 2022), especially the westward extension of the Jiangcuo Fault where a positive stress change was caused by the Maduo earthquake (Figure 10).…”

The 2021 Mw 7.3 Madoi, China Earthquake: Transient Supershear Ruptures on a Presumed Immature Strike‐Slip Fault

“…The ruptured fault is the Kunlun Mountain Pass-Jiangcuo Fault (KMPJF) in the Bayan Har block, which is a NW-trending left-lateral strike-slip fault. Recent estimations made after the Madoi earthquake suggested a small cumulative displacement of 4-5 km and a low slip rate of 0.3-1.0 mm/yr for KMPJF according to Ha et al (2022) and C. Li et al (2023). The location of the mainshock epicenter and the surface rupture trace indicated a bilateral rupture (Yuan et al, 2022).…”

“…Extensive studies have been conducted to quantify the mainshock source parameters (Guo et al, 2022;He et al, 2021;D. Zhao et al, 2021), aftershock distributions (Wang et al, 2021;Z. Zhang et al, 2022;T.…”
