Fig. 2.From: A possible mechanism of M 9 earthquake generation cycles in the area of repeating M 7~8 earthquakes surrounded by aseismic slidingTemporal variation of slip at the points shown in Fig. 1. x and d are strike and depth in Fig. 1. Vpl is the plate convergence rate (0.05 m/yr). Arrows indicate the timing of images shown in Fig. 3.Back to article page
