From: Variability of megathrust earthquakes in the world revealed by the 2011 Tohoku-oki Earthquake
Variability of megathrust earthquakes in terms of seismic segmentation (along-strike single segmentation, ASSS or along-dip double segmentation, ADDS), subduction zone geometry (orthogonal or oblique) and collision with continental plate or continental margin. Typical end-members of great earthquakes are plotted by solid circles with their year of occurrences. Possible future large earthquakes in Hokkaido and Nankai Trough (Fig. 1(b)) and the Cascade subduction zone are indicated by stars.
