Spatio-temporal characteristics of frictional properties on the subducting Pacific Plate off the east of Tohoku district, Japan estimated from stress drops of small earthquakes
Abstract The east coast of the Tohoku district, Japan has a high seismicity, including aftershocks of the 2011 M9 Tohoku earthquake. We analyzed 1142 earthquakes with $$4.4 \le M_{W} \le 5.0$$ 4.4 ≤ M W ≤ 5.0 that occurred in 2003 through 2018 and obtained spatio-temporal pattern of stress drop on t...
