Fig. 4From: Shear wave splitting and seismic velocity structure in the focal area of the earthquake swarm and their relation with earthquake swarm activity in the Noto Peninsula, central JapanResult of seismic velocity tomography: cross-sections. a Map view of Vp/Vs at a depth of 18 km. The ellipse with broken line shows the approximate location of the inherited caldera suggested by the gravity anomaly in Fig. 3a. Earthquakes within a ±3 km depth range are plotted. b A cross-section along C’-C for Vp/Vs and c cross section along B’-B for Vp/Vs, d cross section along C’-C for Vp at a latitude of 37.45 degrees, e a cross-section along B-B’ for Vp. In b–d earthquakes within a ± 3 km width are plotted. The high Vp/Vs and high Vp area and the low-Vp/Vs and low Vp area are marked by a broken-line ellipse and square, respectively. The white and black stars in a, c, and e denote the M5.4 earthquake on June 19, 2022, and the M6.5 earthquake on May 5, 2023, respectively. Grey in d and e or white in a, b, and c, and black dots denote the earthquake from 2019 before the M6.5 earthquake and after the M6.5 earthquake, respectively. Red small squares in a denote the seismic stations used in this studyBack to article page
