Driving stress of the Awaji Island earthquake. a Slip tendency analysis for the Awaji Island earthquake fault. The frequency of the normalized slip tendency (Ts') is computed from the 95% confidence region of the assumed stress tensors. The black, blue, and green colors show the results obtained assuming the stress tensors derived from aftershocks, Pre-shock1, and Pre-shock2, respectively. b Slip angle expected by the stress tensor derived from aftershocks, Pre-shock1, and Pre-shock2. The meaning of colors is the same as in a. The frequency is computed from the stress tensors included in the 95% confidence region. Inverted triangle shows the average rake angle of mainshock (Appendix B)
