Figure 3

Temperature-time profile in primary slip zone during Chi-Chi earthquake (a) and evolution of vitrinite reflectance (b). Temperature-time profile is reconstructed for R o  = 1.30% ± 0.21% (pink curve, R o  = 1.30; blue curve, R o  = 1.09; red curve, Ro = 1.51; light pink shading, their R o range). (b) The vitrinite reflectance has evolved with time in the primary slip zone during the Chi-Chi earthquake.
