Figure 7From: Rheological profile across the NE Japan interplate megathrust in the source region of the 2011 Mw9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquakeA ‘simple’ rheological model of the Tohoku-oki megathrust assuming a hydrostatic pore pressure gradient. The green and orange lines represent fracture and frictional strengths, respectively. The flow strengths of wet quartz and gabbro are shown by pink and purple lines, respectively.Back to article page
