Sagaing Fault · Ground moving sideways

Modern plate motion · earthquake observations, 28 March 2025 · modern location

Interpretive terrain and schematic explaining right-lateral motion on the Sagaing Fault. These are not photographs of damage in 2025 or surveyed sections; terrain and offsets are not reproduced to scale.

The Sagaing Fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault through Myanmar. Regional oblique plate motion and satellite observations around the 2025 earthquake help explain how its two sides move relative to each other.
