Fig. 7From: Azimuthal differences and changes in strain rate and stress of the Japanese Islands deduced from geophysical dataHistogram of the absolute azimuthal differences of \({\tau }_{\mathrm{Hmax}}\) and \({S}_{\mathrm{Hmax}}\) during 2005–2011 in Phase 1 before the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake (left figure) and during 2016–2019 in Phase 3 after the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake (right figure). We focus on cases with larger differences than 60°Back to article page
