The fit of model curves to the data is surprisingly good considering that we determined the down-dip extent of rupturing and the slip amplitude solely from the strain data and that we imposed uniform slip over a rupture surface that is a simple rectangular shape.
We discovered a surface rupture concentration zone (RCZ) formed three ruptures bands with many surface ruptures and landslides extending from the west foot to the center of the Aso volcanic edifice.
A rotational landslide moves along a rupture surface that is curved or concave, like the inside of a spoon.
a Surface rupture that appears on the ridge near Yoshioka; b surface rupture at Site 24 with left strike-slip showing N24°E strike and 85°N dip with 30 cm opening and 15 cm west side down.
The Hines Creek landslide occurred between June 9th and June 25th , 1990(based on Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper bracketing dates) and was a reactivated, retrogressive earth slide, with a rupture surface in glacial sediment (LTA4).
a Surface rupture with 5 cm right strike-slip extending to earth slides at Site 13. b Surface rupture with maximum 5 cm south side down extends to slides at north Hinoyama tunnel at Site 47. c Surface rupture in the scarp of slide at north Hinoyama tunnel at Site 48.
Here we report that there was indeed a surface rupture, 8.5 km long, with up to 1.8 m of reverse faulting on a steeply dipping, arcuate fault plane.

The same pattern holds when structurally simple parts of a surface rupture are analyzed separately from parts that exhibit obvious structural complexity (e.g., discontinuous or multiple traces or significant dip slip).
a Surface rupture appearing at Site 45.
A sharp, large displacement offset suggesting a surface rupture can be seen in the line 3 profile.
