Figure 2: World-View 2 satellite imagery of the western fault segment, 10 km north of Van. The fault trace runs almost east-west (red arrows – the western most arrow is the location of figure 3). The surface geomorphology of the fault scarp is relatively clear in retrospect as there is a change in river incision moving from the south (flat agricultural fields) to the north across the fault (deeper stream and river valleys). This change in river cutting is due to the uplift of the hillside north of the fault from past earthquakes which push up the mountains. In the 2011 earthquake, the mountains to the north grew higher by almost 1 m.
