Deformation induced by giant ruptures. a Tectonic domains along a 600-km section of profile A–A’. b Slip distribution of simulated earthquakes and kinematic model of the 2011 Mw = 9.1 Tohoku earthquake (Iinuma 2012). c Surface horizontal displacements induced by two simulated giant ruptures 2137.2 (black profile) and 2656.9 (red profile) years after the start of the simulation and geodetic coseismic displacements within 50 km of profile A–A’ in Miyagi for the Tohoku mega-quake. The on-land measurements originate from GEONET (Sagiya et al. 2000; Ozawa et al. 2011). The offshore measurements include GPS-acoustic and ocean bottom pressure gauges data summarized by Iinuma (2012). d Same as above panel, but for the vertical displacement
