Fault models (red rectangles) of four earthquakes estimated from borehole strain data, including observed and calculated principal strain changes at each station. a Largest aftershock of the Mw 9.0 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. b Foreshock of the Mw 6.0 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. c Mainshock of the Mw 7.0 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. d 2016 Central Tottori earthquake (Mw 6.2). Fault models in panels b, c, and d are nearly vertical, so the fault planes appear as single straight lines in those panels
