Maximum horizontal compressive stress (SHmax) in and around the Awaji Island. a Map showing the axes of maximum horizontal compressive stress (SHmax) determined in the present study (right) together with that reported by Townend and Zoback (2006) and Matsushita and Imanishi (2015). Circles in the right map correspond to earthquakes used in the stress tensor inversion (see Fig. 8). b Rose diagram of SHmax orientation shown in a. The red and blue lines indicate SHmax orientation within and outside the source area determined in the present study, respectively. Regarding the orientation within the source area, the average value is shown
