Mt Everest shifted 3 cm

This is vaguely interesting:

Neither quake was right under Everest: the M7.8 was fairly distant. The motions would have been much larger if the quake was under or just south of Everest.

I'm interested because of where GPS-measured shortening is (in north Los Angeles) vs. where an earthquake could rupture to. This is discussed towards the end of my 2013 paper. I posted some cross sections here (Earthwaves) a month or so ago comparing Nepal and Los Angeles.
