Map of the 11 March 2011 Tohoku great earthquake slip model P-MOD2 obtained from least-squares inversion of teleseismic P-waves. The yellow dashed curve indicates the position of the trench deep. Focal mechanisms for the mainshock and the first 3 weeks of aftershocks from the Global Centroid Moment Tensor (GCMT) catalog are shown. White arrows indicate the MORVEL relative plate motion of the Pacific plate, holding the Japan mainland fixed.
