This false-color map shows the amount of permanent surface movement caused almost entirely by the earthquake, as viewed by the satellite, during a 12-day interval between radar images acquired by the Sentinel-1A satellite on August 3 and August 15, 2021. </span></p><p><span>In this map, the colors of the surface displacements are proportional to the surface motion. The blue tones show the areas that have moved toward the satellite by as much as 16 inches (40 centimeters) in a combination of up and eastward motion. The blue area that moved towards the satellite is close to the epicenter and likely indicates there was large slip on the fault beneath this area. The area to the west with various shades of red moved away from the satellite, mostly downward or westward, by as much as 8 inches (20 cm). The two areas of significant ground movement (darker red and blue) are both west of the epicenter and indicate the fault rupture proceeded westward from its starting point. Areas with gray are open water or heavy vegetation that prevents the radar measurements from measuring change between satellite images. Scientists use these maps to build detailed models of the fault slip at depth and associated land movements to better understand the impact on future earthquake activity. </span></p><p><span style='font-weight:bold;'>Suggested Use:</span></p><p><span>In this map, the colors of the surface displacements are proportional to the surface motion.
