Depths of tectonic tremors and intra-slab earthquakes. (a) Comparison of estimated depths of intra-slab earthquakes determined by the GeoNet method versus our method. On the green line, depths estimated by the two methods are equal. Our method tends to estimate shallower depths. (b) Depth histogram of intra-slab earthquakes and tectonic tremors. The red line shows depth histogram of tectonic tremors estimated by our method, while the green line shows intra-slab earthquakes. The blue shows intra-slab earthquakes estimated by the GeoNet. Tectonic tremors are about 15 km shallower than intra-slab earthquakes.
