Fig. 4From: Time-dependent modeling of slow-slip events along the Nankai Trough subduction zone, Japan, within the 2018–2023 periodEstimated interplate slip on the plate interface. The colors are indicative of the magnitude of the aseismic slip. The contour interval is 4 cm. The solid arrows represent aseismic slips larger than 3σ, whereas the gray arrows represent slips less than 3σ. The broken contours indicate the iso-depth contours of the plate interface between the subducting Philippine Sea plate and the overriding Amur plate with a contour interval of 20 km. The blue dots show the epicenters of low-frequency earthquakes for the corresponding period. The stars show the epicenters of the Mw 6.2 Hyuga-nada earthquake on May 10, 2019, and the Mw 6.4 Tanegashima earthquake on January 8, 2019, in (b). a January 1, 2018–January 1, 2019. b January 1, 2019–January 1, 2020. c January 1, 2020–January 1, 2021. d January 1, 2021–January 1, 2022. e January 1, 2022–January 1, 2023. The star indicates the epicenter of the Mw 5.7 earthquake of October 10, 2022. f January 1, 2023–July 1, 2023Back to article page
