Schematic diagram illustrating the distribution of slow earthquakes in the Ryukyu Subduction Zone. Pink circular areas with dotted lines show the areas of ordinary thrust-type earthquakes. Yellow circular areas show the areas of low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs). Purple circular areas show the slow slip event (SSE) faults (Nishimura 2014). Blue oval denotes the source area of the 1771 Yaeyama tsunami earthquake (Nakamura 2009). Red arrows show the triggering of LFEs by SSEs. Black arrows with dotted lines show the migration of LFEs
