Fig. 4.From: Possibility of Mw 9.0 mainshock triggered by diffusional propagation of after-slip from Mw 7.3 foreshockSchematic diagram showing an earthquake sequence on the plate interface from the foreshock to the mainshock. White stars illustrate hypocenters. Weak planes located around the plate interface (not shown here) can be ruptured during the sequence.Back to article page
