Hypocenter distribution around the best-fit planes. (Left) Hypocenter distribution along the strike of the best-fit plane. The vertical and horizontal axes indicate, respectively, the directions along and normal to the best-fit plane. (Middle) and (right) Hypocenter distributions projected onto and perpendicular to the best-fit fault plane, respectively. (Top) Hypocenter distribution around Fault 1 (middle) that around Fault 2 and (bottom) that around Fault 8 in Fig. 4
