Configuration of the subfaults used in this study. a Center depths of the subfaults measured from the sea surface. Depth contour of the plate boundary of JIVSM (Koketsu et al. 2012) is also shown, with an interval of 5 km for thin lines and 10 km for thick lines. b Strike angles of the triangular subfaults. Strike direction is shown by small arrows. c Dip angles of the triangular subfaults. Dipping direction is shown by small arrows. d Rake angles of the triangular subfaults. Direction of the plate convergence (DeMets et al. 2010) is also shown by thick arrows
