Co-seismic Surface Rupture Produced by the Mw7.9 Wenchuan Earthquake, China on 12 May 2008

 Representative outcrop of the co-seismic surface rupture produced by the Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, China at a location 1km southeast of the town of Beichuan. The road surface of the left side was the same height as that of the right side before the earthquake, which was offset〜2.5m vertically. The co-seismic surface rupture strikes northeast-southwest parallel to the road and extends throughout the town of Beichuan to the northeast.
