Fig. 3.From: Average slip rate at the transition zone on the plate interface beneath the Kii Peninsula, Japan, estimated from deep low-frequency tremors(a) Time-space distribution of DLF tremors analyzed in this study. (b), (c), and (d) Temporal variations in (left axis) the cumulative apparent moment and (right axis) the cumulative seismic moment (thick black lines) of DLF tremors in the northern, central, and southern areas, respectively. Arrows indicate the occurrence of short-term SSEs observed geodetically in the northern area (NIED, 2009; Sekine et al., 2010). Thin black lines show the average slip rate attributable to short-term SSEs in each region. Gray lines show the average slip rate attributable to short-term SSEs observed geodetically in the northern area.Back to article page
