The diagram follows Ikeda (1996) with a modification of the zero stress level; the stress just after a gigantic earthquake was taken to be zero in his original diagram. Ikeda (1996) considers that the stress increase is suppressed by the occurrence of intraplate earthquakes before a gigantic earthquake at subduction zone
