Field investigations reveal that the M w 7.9 Wenchuan (China) earthquake of 12 May 2008 produced a 285-km-long surface rupture zone, with dominantly thrusting slip accompanied by a right-lateral component along the central-northern segments of the zone, and left-lateral component along the southern segment, along the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt, eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. The co-seismic...
We observed ground-shortening structures produced by the 2008 M w 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake along the 285-km-long Wenchuan co-seismic surface rupture zone. The structures are characterized by co-seismic thrusting and folding structures that include thrust fault scarps, flexure-slip folds, and mole tracks. Fold structures are generally developed within alluvial deposits, river channel deposits,...
