Epicentral distribution and depth cross-sections along A–B and C–D. A solid symbol indicates the mainshock. The global CMT solution of the mainshock (Dziewonski et al. (1981) and later updates) is also shown. Strike A–B is perpendicular to the strike of the WNW-dipping nodal plane of the global CMT solution. (a) USGS locations. Two stars indicate epicenters of the historical 1896 (M 8.2) and 1933 (Mw 8.4) Sanriku earthquakes. (b) Relocated hypocenters by the MJHD method in this study. NAM: North American plate. PAC: Pacific plate. JT: Japan Trench.
