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

Fig. 7

Cross-sectional view of the fault slip and stress drop of the Tohoku-Oki earthquake. a Comparison of the fault slip distributions between the present study (red) and the ones in the previous studies (Iinuma et al. 2012; Satake et al. 2013; Sun et al. 2017; Yamazaki et al. 2018) along the line normal to the trench axis shown in the inset map. The error range of the present study’s model is shown by the red shaded area. The blue shaded area denotes the error range of Sun et al. (2017). The small triangles denote the location of the ocean-bottom pressure gauges. The region of the differential bathymetry survey conducted in Sun et al. (2017) is shown by the cyan line. b Comparison of the stress drop distributions. The error range of the present study’s model is shown by the red shaded area
