Slip component models on the plate surface. a Model explaining the short-period logarithmic term at three years after the earthquake. Vectors indicate the motion of the upper plate with respect to the lower plate. b Model explaining gap₂₀₁₅. c Model explaining the linear deformation v from 2015; areas B to E represent the locations indicating the characteristic displacement in c. Isodepth contours of the Pacific slab were estimated by Kita et al. (2010), Nakajima and Hasegawa (2006), and Nakajima et al. (2009)
