From: A new mechanical perspective on a shallow megathrust near-trench slip from the high-resolution fault model of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake

Interpretation of the mechanical and kinematic properties along the Tohoku plate boundary. a Mechanical perspective associated with the megathrust Tohoku-Oki earthquake. The regions where the plate boundary is mechanically locked are shown in red, and the regions where the mechanical coupling is weak are shown in blue. The regions surrounded by dashed lines are less certain than those with the solid lines. The regions where the mechanical property is unclear are shown in gray. b Kinematic perspective of the seismic activities along the plate boundary. The spatial relationship of the coseismic (magenta) and postseismic (cyan) slips are shown. Aftershock areas are also shown in gray, and tremor areas are shown in green
