Figure 5From: Estimation of slip rate and fault displacement during shallow earthquake rupture in the Nankai subduction zone Sensitivity of slip velocity and slip distance to the amount of shear stress. Sensitivity of slip velocity (v) and slip distance (D) as a function of shear stress (τ); (a) the megasplay fault and (b) the frontal decollement. Black lines indicate the condition of hydrostatic stress, assuming that horizontal stress is equal to vertical stress.Back to article page
