A map image with red pixels indicate northward motion, while blue pixels show movement to the south. The data highlights ground displacements of more than 3 meters (10 feet) along portions of the fault, for a total offset of more than 6 meters in some places. Distinctly right along the dashed line overlay of the fault the dots are overwhelmingly blue on the right and red on the left. There is some color mixture farther away from the fault, but the highlighted city lower on the fault, Nay Pyi Taw shows a distinct color barrier. Concentric circles along the fault line indicate the location of the Mainshock and Aftershock, 7.7and 6.7 magnitude respectively. Sagaing is nestled directly between them with Mandalay just right and up from there. Chiang Mai, Thailand, is also labeled on the far right edge of the image.
