Fig. 9From: Azimuthal differences and changes in strain rate and stress of the Japanese Islands deduced from geophysical dataComparison between the azimuths of the maximum contraction of geodetic strain rate \({\tau }_{\mathrm{Hmax}}\) (blue arrows) and the maximum compressive stress \({S}_{\mathrm{Hmax}}\) (orange arrows) for the Kanto region. The green circles represent the grid points where the azimuths differ by more than 60° as those in Fig. 8Back to article page
