Fig. 1From: Statistical study on the regional characteristics of seismic activity in and around Japan: frequency-magnitude distribution and tidal correlationThe epicentral distribution and centers of the rectangular areas used in the analyses. Red dots show epicenters and blue crosses show the center of each grid for \(l=0.2^\circ\) (\(0.1^\circ\) intervals in accordance with CSEP-Japan). For \(l=0.4^\circ\), the center of the rectangular area (\(0.2^\circ\) intervals) was the point where both the latitude and longitude were halved. a Land areas (area A); b the entire area in and around Japan (area B)Back to article page
