3. Tectonic Environment of Wenchuan earthquake Tectonic Environment: Wenchuan earthquake occurred on Longmen Shan thrust fault zone, it bounds between the Tibetan plateau and Sichuan basin, where the topography is high and steep, the vegetation is heavy. This make field investigations very difficult. Thus we used D-InSAR technology to capture the whole coseismic deformation fields. Long Menshan thrust fault zone Consist of 3 brunchs F1 F2 F3 Main shock Tibetan Plateau Sichuan Basin Ms≥6.0 After shock Ms=4.0-4.9 Ms=5.0-5.9 (5.12 2008 ~ 7.5 2008)

5. This Fig is the InSAR mosaic interferometric fringes from 7 data tracks, it shows the coverage scope and pattern of the entire deformation field caused by the Wenchuan earthquake. But We can note along the Northeastern direction from Yingxiu to Qingchuan, There is a clear incoherent zone, showed as the belt region encircled by yellow-dash line. We can not obtain the displacement of this area by InSAR technology. But using offset tracking method ,we can get the larger displacement in incoherent zone nearby the rupture trace. Pink big circle denotes epicenter of the main shock. InSAR mosaic interferometric fringes

8. This Fig show the entire surface rupture trace mosaicked from 7 data tracks along the Yingxiu-Beichuan fault, it indicate the scope and pattern of the surface rupture zone, it starting from about 26km west to Yingxiu town, extending northeast to 7km south of Qingchuan county. The total length of rupture belt is about 238km long. In addition, Along the Guanxian-Jiangyou fault, there is also a rupture belt, it is about 66km long.
