From: Coseismic visibility of a small fragile patch involved in the rupture of a large patch - implications from fully dynamic rate-state earthquake sequence simulations producing variable manners of earthquake initiation

Figure 7

An LL event by interaction of large nucleation and Patch S. The 9th earthquake with α = β = 3 is shown as an example. This event is classified as an LL event because there is a large nucleation, but Patch S is also involved in the initiation. (a) The moment rate function is duplicated from Figure 6a. (b) The moment acceleration function is duplicated from Figure 6b. (c, d, e, f, g, h) Snapshots of the slip rate distribution. The time after the moment acceleration exceeds threshold 10 PNm/s2 is indicated in each panel. The color scale is the same as in Figure 3.
