Fig. 2From: A new mechanical perspective on a shallow megathrust near-trench slip from the high-resolution fault model of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquakeConfiguration 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 5Â km for thin lines and 10Â 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 arrowsBack to article page
