Geodetic strain in part of the western United States, information that is used, along with seismic and neotectonic data, in earthquake-hazard assessment and communication of hazard information to the public (warmer colors and longer arrows illustrate areas of relatively higher strain; figure from Kreemer et al., 2012).
