![(a) Tectonic background of the 2023 Kahramanmara? earthquake sequence. The purple dots and gray stars represent the locations of the Mw > 4 and >7 events between 1900 and before the 2023 Mw 7.8 Pazarcik earthquake, respectively. Those seismic events were acquired from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) (U.S. Geological Survey, 2017). The gray thick and black thin lines are the plate boundary and active faults, respectively (Styron and Pagani, 2020). The black dashed rectangle indicates the location of the study region in panel (b). The blue and green focal mechanism plots depict the focal mechanism associated with the 2023 Mw 7.8 Pazarcik and Mw 7.6 Elbistan (inset). East Anatolian fault (EAF), North Anatolian fault (NAF), and Dead Sea fault (DSF) represent the East Anatolian, North Anatolian, and Dead Sea faults. (b) Aftershocks, focal mechanisms, and fault trace line associated with the 2023 Kahramanmara? earthquake sequence. The blue, green, and black focal mechanisms depict the focal mechanism associated with the 2023 Mw 7.8 Pazarcik, Mw 7.6 Elbistan, Mw 6.3 Anakya earthquakes, and the 2020 Mw 6.7 Elazığ earthquake, respectively. The focal mechanism were acquired from USGS (U.S. Geological Survey, 2017) and Global Centroid Moment Tensor (Global CMT) (Dziewonski et al., 1981; Ekström et al., 2012). The relocated aftershocks of the 2023 Kahramanmara? earthquake sequence are shown as filled circles of warm color (Lomax, 2023). The purple lines indicate the surface rupture lines extracted based on remote‐sensing observation (Reitman et al., 2023). “F.” and “S.” are abbreviations of fault and segment. The color version of this figure is available only in the electronic edition.]()
![The coseismic deformation associated with the 2023 Kahramanmara? earthquake sequence. (a–c) The Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) observation for Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS)‐2 ascending and descending tracks. (d–f) The range offset fields for Sentinel‐1 ascending and descending tracks. (g–i) The azimuth offset fields were obtained from Sentinel‐1 ascending and descending tracks. The green and yellow stars indicate the epicenter of the Pizarcik and Elbistan earthquakes, respectively. The purple and black lines denote the extracted rupture traces and active faults. In the DInSAR and range offset displacement fields, the positive and negative values mean motion toward and away from the line of sight (LoS) direction, respectively. For azimuth offsets, the negative and positive values mean motion toward and away from the along‐track direction, respectively. The color version of this figure is available only in the electronic edition.]()
![(a) The coseismic slip distribution of the 2023 Kahramanmara? earthquake sequence in 3D view. The inset shows the maximum slip variation with depth for two events. (b) Coseismic slip on F1.1–1.7 and its relocated aftershocks projected to a 50°‐striking fault plane. (c) Coseismic slip on F2.1–2.3 and its relocated aftershocks projected to a 170°‐striking fault plane. The gray dots represent the relocated aftershocks from Lomax (2023). The black rectangles represent identified three asperities. The color version of this figure is available only in the electronic edition.]()
