Fig. 13

Temporal evolution of all 15 simulations from Fig. 11. a The maximum slip rate at each time step is in blue (left axis) and the seismic moment release rate from the whole area is in red (right axis). b Relationship between the above two values from all 15 simulations, denoted by red points. Gray points represent the relationship for the case that includes the smallest patches \(k = 4\), from Fig. 8
