Stress rotation as a function of latitude, a proxy for along-strike distance. The median vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) stress rotation is found for all inversion bins in 0.5° latitude intervals. Multiple realizations are performed by sampling a rotation for each bin from its bootstrap uncertainty, and the median is set to zero if it is not significantly different from zero at 1-sigma uncertainty. Gray curves indicate average mainshock slip or average afterslip as a function of latitude, from the same models as in Fig. 4. a Tohoku-Oki earthquake coseismic stress rotation, b Tohoku-Oki earthquake postseismic stress rotation, P1 shown as solid lines and P2 as dashed lines, c Maule earthquake coseismic stress rotation, d Maule earthquake postseismic stress rotation, P1 shown as solid lines and P2 as dashed lines, e Sumatra–Andaman earthquake coseismic stress rotation. f Sumatra–Andaman earthquake postseismic stress rotation, P1 shown as solid lines, P2 as dashed lines, and P3 as dash-dot lines
