Abstract:There are remarkable differences between the middle and southern segments of the Japan Trench in terms of the seismic and aseismic slips on the plate interface and seismic velocity structures. The large coseismic slip of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake was limited to the middle segment, yet the observed negative residual gravity anomaly area in the southern segment corresponds to the postseismic slip area of the Tohoku-Oki earthquake. A model can explain the different slip behaviors of the two segments by consi… Show more
