a Distribution of peak ground acceleration during the 2016 central Tottori earthquake observed by K-NET and KiK-net. Black star denotes the hypocenter. b Distribution of stations used in this study. Red, blue, and cyan triangles denote K-NET, KiK-net borehole, and KiK-net surface stations, respectively. Black line denotes the assumed fault plane model. Green star denotes the hypocenter of the largest foreshock (October 21, 2016, 12:12 JST, M JMA 4.2). Black circles denote the hypocenters of events (M ≥ 2) from February 1, 2001 to October 20, 2016. Blue circles denote the hypocenters of aftershock within 1 week after the 2016 central Tottori earthquake. These hypocenters were determined by the NIED Hi-net. Indian red, orange, and violet lines denote the source faults of the 1943 Tottori earthquake (M JMA 7.2), the 1983 central Tottori earthquake (M JMA 6.2), and the 2000 western Tottori earthquake (M JMA 7.3), estimated by Kanamori (1972), Nishida (1990), and Fukuyama et al. (2003), respectively. Brown, orange, and violet stars denote their hypocenters determined by JMA. Magenta lines denote the surface traces of active faults (AIST 2007). Focal mechanisms represent the F-net moment tensor solutions of the mainshock and the largest foreshock
