Fig. 6.From: Nearly complete stress drop in the 2011 Mw 9.0 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku EarthquakeRotation of σ1 axis (Δθ) as a function of angle of σ1 axis to the fault plane (θ) for various values of Δτ/τ, the ratio of stress drop to the deviatoric stress (Hardebeck and Hauksson, 2001). Presently estimated rotation angles for regions A and B are plotted by solid circles with the confidence ranges.Back to article page
