Fig. 10From: A new mechanical perspective on a shallow megathrust near-trench slip from the high-resolution fault model of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquakeNumerical evaluation of plate coupling area location. a–c Slip distribution assuming coupling at the shallowest, middle, and deeper portions of the plate boundary, respectively. Polygons drawn with thick black lines denote the regions where the stress drop was assigned. d Comparison between the observed (gray) and simulated waveforms (colored) at representative stationsBack to article page
