Locations of the surface ruptures associated with the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. a Map showing the tectonic setting, active volcanoes and active faults in southwest Japan. Active faults are shown with red lines (Research Group for Active Faults of Japan, 1991). The source area of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake shown in b is enclosed with a black rectangle at the center of Kyushu Island. b Map of the 16 April 2016 surface rupture (Kumahara et al. 2016). Previously mapped active faults are shown as blue lines. Focal mechanisms of both Mjma = 6.5 14 April and Mjma = 7.3 16 April are shown with their epicenters (yellow stars), together with aftershocks since the Mjma = 7.3 event
