- •
Principal strain rates show NE–NS–NE from the west to the east along the Himalayas.
- •
The MW 7.8 Gorkha epicenter is located at the edge of an intense compressive zone.
- •
Slips larger than 0.5 m are mainly distributed in a region 135 km × 105 km.
- •
The rupture of the Gorkha earthquake does not reach the surface.
- •
The recurrence period of the MW 7.8 Gorkha earthquake is about 166 ± 20 years.
