Stress transferred by 1995 Mw 6.9 Kobe earthquake. a Coseismic Coulomb stress change at a depth of 14.4 km due to the slip model from Ide and Takeo (1997). The receiver fault is assumed to be the 2013 Awaji Island earthquake fault: (strike, dip, slip) = (175°, 62°, 101°). The star corresponds to the epicenter of the Awaji Island earthquake. The surface projection of the fault model of the Kobe earthquake is indicated by the gray rectangle. b Coulomb stress change at the hypocenter of the Awaji Island earthquake due to the viscoelastic relaxation following the Kobe earthquake. The horizontal axis indicates elapsed time after the Kobe earthquake. The vertical broken line corresponds to the occurrence of the Awaji Island earthquake
