Fig. 7

Simulated temporal evolution for cases (4) and (6), whose patch distributions are shown in Fig. 6. a Shear stress evolution at the center of each patch. The colors correspond to the order of the patches, with blue, green, and gray used for \(k = 2 , 3 , {\text{and 4}}\), respectively. b Average slip deficit across each patch. \(M_{0}\) is shown by a pink curve. c Average slip rate across each patch. \(\dot{M}_{0}\) is shown with a pink curve. The local peaks in slip rate are identified by blue dots, whereas the red circles correspond to the peaks in \(\dot{M}_{0}\) for each time step
