Surface rupture and shallow fault reactivation during the 2019 Mw 4.9 Le Teil earthquake, France

Surface rupture and shallow fault reactivation during the 2019 Mw 4.9 Le Teil earthquake, France

The 2019 Le Teil earthquake in southern France reactivated an existing fault and ruptured the surface, according to field, seismic and InSAR observations. The incredibly shallow hypocenter can explain the effects of the moderate Mw 4.9 event.
