Fig. 12From: A new mechanical perspective on a shallow megathrust near-trench slip from the high-resolution fault model of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquakeComparison of the plate depth and velocity structure of the previous studies. a Comparison of the plate depth of JIVSM (Koketsu et al. 2012, dark red contours) and that of Iwasaki et al. (2015) (dark blue contours). b The vertical profile along the MY102 line (Miura et al. 2005, thick black line in Fig. 10a). Colors indicate the Vp structure estimated by Miura et al. (2005). The plate depth contours of both JIVSM and Iwasaki et al. (2015) are also drawn. c The Vp structure of JIVSM along the MY102 lineBack to article page
