Fig. 1.

Times and magnitudes of earthquakes in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake sequence. Small blue symbols show times and magnitudes for all earthquakes reported by the USGS NEIC (data downloaded on 2011-04-06). Red and green symbols show moment magnitudes for earthquakes analyzed in this study. Red symbols denote conforming mechanisms, consistent with either interplate thrusting or outer-rise extension. Green symbols denote other, non-conforming, intraplate earthquakes in the overriding plate.
