Fig. 7From: Dynamics of a fault model with two mechanically different regionsFault model of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) are the areas of the asperity and of the weak region, respectively, and z is depth. The model is a simplified version of the tectonic settings suggested by Lay et al. (2012) and Silverii et al. (2014)Back to article page
