Trench-perpendicular projection of CMT T-axes on vertical cross sections (modified from Sandiford et al. 2020). a Tonga; b Kuriles; c Japan; d Chile; e Peru; f Central America. The origin of the horizontal axis represents the location of the trench. The T-axes are plotted as projections of uniform-length vectors, with the length variation in the plotted T-axes reflecting the magnitude of the projected component of the vector. T-axes are colored according to the orientation relative to the slab midplane (shown with dashed black line): red represents earthquakes with a down-dip compressive (DC) sense, blue with a down-dip tensional (DT) sense
