From: Recurrence intervals for M > 7 Miyagi-ken-Oki earthquakes during an M ~ 9 earthquake cycle
Snapshots of the simulated slip velocity distribution during Cycle 3 shown in Fig. 3. a–c M > 7 earthquake in the Miyagi-ken-Oki (MYG) patch. Slip velocity is normalized to the plate convergence rate, Vpl. The time interval between adjacent panels is shown below the arrow between the panels. d and m M ~ 9 earthquakes that occurred within a time interval of 633 years. e–l, n M > 7 earthquakes that repeatedly occurred in the MYG patch. Blue and red areas indicate the locked parts and unstable slipping parts of the fault, respectively. Yellow/green and white indicate slow slip and plate convergence rates, respectively
