Put in the following (Copy and Paste) and you will see the fault area
traversing from East/West through the mountains. Offset valleys and
rivers are plainly seen and the terrain, being mountainous gives a
very clear picture of how long this fault has been working this area.
China has so many faults I cannot locate a name for the one this EQ
occurred on.

"The earthquake's epicenter and focal-mechanism are consistent with it
having occurred as the result of movement on the Longmenshan fault or a
tectonically related fault."
